Simon Nicol and his acoustic swan-caller

Down The Stream The Swans All Glide.

Down the stream the swans all glide;
It's quite the cheapest way to ride.
Their legs get wet,
Their tummies wetter:
I think after all
The bus is better.
 
Spike Milligan

"Duirt me leat go raibh me breoite".
or in English,
"I told you I was ill"

at Egham in Surrey.
It is the largest and
only completely self-contained
swan hospital in the UK
