The "ledgend" I heard was of a dieing boy who was room bound but had a veiw out over the river & sea behond. but with these varius 'versions' It seems more like urban-myths than origins!

As to parrodies the local version (which I no-longer pass down the generations, being a guider myself now ;)) goes like this:

"Out of my tent flap looking in the night
I can see the Guiders Cigerette light,
Siently flows the whiskey to the glass,
As the guiders have their fun at last,
Guiders I would like to be with you,
I would like to share your whiskey too,
Guiders have you scouters in your beds?
Are You planning for nine months ahead???"

I have aso heard it sung with the whiskey flowing to the lips, as the guiders show off bums and t....omatoes!!!

I will be adding the other versions as exta verses :D
Thanks all.
