Poohsticks on a Cotswold bridge

Twydale’s Lament is a three-parter with a shouty rant, some spoken cynicism and a chant to fade out with. What more can you ask for? Thanks to Paul and EskimoEric

I had always heard it as Warwick Arts Centre. I’ll have to listen again.

Do you know Peter? You’re absolutely right. And it makes so much more sense.

Pretty sure it’s “you shall be cast away into the fiery pit” as opposed to “you should be…”
Also it must be “And whenever he tries to light up a cigarette” rather than “tried”.

I’ll go along with both of those, Peter. Also, it should be ‘and in the fiery pit’, rather than ‘that fiery pit’, in my very, very humble opinion.
