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.

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.
