Cheers Fiolar, now I won't look as much of a tit if anyone asks me at the folk club. Looking a tit is by way of being compulsory anyway, but the extent is optional! :-)

Les: yeah, I found that out during my searching. Incidentally, I found 2 Stanley Holloway sites off Google, and both gave Sam's name as "Oglethwaite", not "Oswaldthwaite". Different versions? "Oswaldthwaite" certainly sounds a better Lancashire name though.

Grab.
