D' Ye Ken Ted Moult [ACD]

Our Ted it has to be said produces proof beyond us
Rain, shine or gale force nine his frames remain intact
Helicopters in my garden bringing wind (I beg your pardon)
Double glazing is amazing, don't you all agree?

No fears, they’ll last you for years - our statistics prove it
And you'll pose as everyone knows its you who sets the pace
On the cold and frosty mornings scoff and howl at Yuletide warnings
Insulation for the nation, that's the one for me

No draft ‘cos that’d be daft, a feather acknowledges Newton
And a ball and chain let loose on the pane can only smash your nerves
In the hibernating season pick the best, it stands to reason
No complaining when it’s raining, thanks to Mr Moult (wahey)

Notes taken from www.hmhb.co.uk

Title from the Yorkshire song "D'Ye Ken John Peel", who I believe was a famous huntsman of yesteryear. There's a film of this title from 1934, starring John Garrick. John Peel is of course also the name by which John Ravenscroft (world's most wonderful human being and probably the only person ever to play HMHB on Radio 1. Apart from Mark Radcliffe. Oh, and Johnnie Walker) is better known, but that's irrelevant. Peelie is unfortunately a Liverpool fan.
Ted Moult Former "Brain of Britain" and double glazing advertiser. Appeared on "The Archers"; became a farmer.
[Sir Isaac] Newton Physicist, mathematician, hit on head with apple.
helicopters, ball and chain, feather and no draught Everest double glazing imagery, as advertised by Ted.
