I don't think that there is a Loch Down in either Scotland or Ireland.  There is however a Loch Doon in Scotland and an 8.5% Loch Down 'Scotch' ale brewed by the Arcadia Brewing Co. in Kalamazoo, Michigan.

I've got a girl there!

Now look, that is obviously a ceiling-mounted Corgi.

A pedant-mounted Corgi would be attached by a flex to a ceiling rose.

Thanks for going to the trouble to post all the info and anecdotes - makes for a very interesting thread.

Hah!  I just spent ages trying to find the DVD version of this that I was certain I had.

Turns out I had the original VHS version!

Apparently the material has been re-mastered, so the quality should be very much improved on the earlier VHS.

A true tale from the very early '80s.

Took a ferry from Westminster Bridge to Greenwich - the Cockney crew ran an 'unofficial' commentary that caused much entertainment (and was a very insightful view of London through local eyes).

When we came to the area known as Docklands -

"Ladies an' gentlemen, if you take a look on the sarf bank you will see some of the docks an' wareharses wot has been bought up by the Arabs and wot is bein' turned into luxury houses an' flats.

They have done more damage in three months than wot Jerry did durin' the whole of the war".
