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.

Mike,
Me too. I was thinking about this recently and wondered where to go to find out about what those terms all meant.
Great find.

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

Brilliant! I've saved that in the hope of explaining to some English people I know.

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.

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.
