re: John Peel, I'm actually not sure now - I remember me and brother listening to it at the time and I think the band kept insisting Welsh for sheep was 'mochin' and laughing about it so JP went away thinking that.

Realising the man at the stream couldn't hear him, the farmer moved closer, 'Paid a yfed! Dwr ych-y-fi! Defaid yn cachu yn y dwr!' [Don't drink. Water's disgusting. Sheep tulip in the water.]
'I'm dreadfully sorry my good man, I can't understand a word you say dear boy! Can't you speak English?' Said the man at the stream, in a splendid English accent.
'Oh I see', said the farmer, 'I was just saying, if you use both hands you can get more in........Comment
