There are a good few cd's out of Les and others performing his wonderful material. If you ever get to meet him, or even see him live, take plenty of money as he carries around a suitcase full of little books of his poems and songs - hundreds of them (the swine!).
Les Barker; lethally good. Cracks everyone up when he's in Australia, but I haven't heard his version of the shipping forecast before. This isn't just funny for the British.
"Comment on this video" (?) ... if we had to comment we would not be English! Funny is funny! Thats about the last thing that keeps traditional English people together. Best wishes/or XXX - [delete as applicable!}.

Nowhere else in the world would this ever get a laugh becuase no-one would have a clue what he was going on about.
I love the Shipping Forecast.
