Sorry the Fry joke offended, because when I heard it it wasn't in the least bit so, just a play on words. Most of the Pogue songs are, in one way or another, on demon drink. John Peel (the huntsman, not the radio DJ) is a good example of when lines get changed through ignorance. Non-Cumbrians just couldn't understand why it was 'coat so grey' and it was changed to 'coat so gay'. Hodden grey was the colour of the native fabrics and John Peel did not put on too many airs and graces, but went hunting in his everyday clothes.
