Well my dates were all screwed up; but yer tellin' me the ancient Briton did NOT paint himself blue with woad? I am stunned!! Bert's whole claim to fame was singing the Woad song on Mudcat Radio!!! LOL

What's the use of wearing braces,
Boots with buttons, shoes with laces
Coats and ties you buys in places
Down on Bronckton Road?
What's the use of shirts of cotton?
Studs that always get forgotten?
These affairs are simply rotten!
Better far is Woad!!
