Speaking from an English perspective - that is spot on, I'm impressed especially by the fact that he talked about the relevancy of the Crown. It wouldn't hurt to show this to EVERY British schoolkid.

I agree. As someone who finished school only two years ago, I can say that they do NOT teach much about this topic. I think that I learnt more about my own country during that video than I did at school :lol:

Ignore any denials Stew makes, the only documented history of such activity in the British Army was against the Black Watch at the time of Waterloo. :lol:

Just looking at your post.
I havn't tried it with the sheep myself, but its like they say, there's no smoke without fire.
PS, I am a Welshman myself, so you can't pull the wool over my eyes.
