THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR THE VIDS. Also, if you have time, I would like to know more about the culture of the Channel Islands,(music, food, religious beliefs,high/low standing social roles) and what it was like growing up there.

I have checked google and yahoo answers, and no Luck.

I heard that it is a very much slow paced, yet RICH society, with not alot of diversity, culturally wise. Would love to communicate with you one on one. And again thanks for the vid.

Growing up there was very interesting. It is indeed rich and slow-paced, mainly because the main form of transport is riding on the backs of poor people. Channel Islanders believe in a god called "Verpisswyth" who, having sculpted Jersey from a delicious biscuit, created Guernsey purely by accident. He demands human sacrifice at least 6 times a year, which is usually dealt with by the island elders who choose a poor person at random.

@neverknowwhattouse Jersey isn't actually that diverse, culturally, on account of the legal requirement for religious and cultural conformity, lest one be at the mercy of the island elders and possibly condemned to a middling income. We generally tend to listen to mainstream pop from the UK/USA, just like everyone else. In fact there's a solid gold statue of Mick Hucknall outside the town hall, which people dance around at weekends.

@neverknowwhattouse Have you heard about the famous Jersey potatoes? They are the staple food of Jersey people. You must have also heard about our beautiful Jersey cows? You can look them up on google. Ever since the French built a nuclear power plant just 20km from the island, our cows have begun laying the delicious potatoes, which sustain the entire population and give farmers more time to beat their peasant slaves.

IF this is really Henry, I think that unless you have express consent from him, it is very poor taste to share this on a public forum. There is such a thing as privacy, even for actors.

Fourthly, this video is already in the public domain, as I am not the only one who's parents recorded it. By uploading it, I am saving it for posterity, whereas other copies may be left to degrade in VHS format. If Henry should wish that I remove it, then he can easily contact me and I would respectfully do so.

Sorry, ran out of space.. I wanted to say, well done for standing your ground, the upload is perfectly innocent and I'm sure it will bring a smile to Henry's face too!

I think this Berecupcake busybody runs a Facebook page for Henry Cavill fans, where you can comment as to what sexual acts you want to do to him but not post anything 'personal'. Such comments are pointless and do not help his career, as she states the Facebook page promotes! Double standards there, don't you think? She obviously believes she has some mighty power and feels the need to protect his privacy over Facebook, YouTube and god knows where else!! She doesn't even know the man!! I just

Thirdly, the general response I have had from friends in other videos I've uploaded it one of thanks - it seems people tend to enjoy a nostalgic reminder of what they were like as children.

@BereCupcake Firstly, it's not like he's doing anything embarrassing - it's a harmless 2 minute clip of him performing quite confidently at the age of 7 which couldn't possibly do any harm to his professional profile. Secondly, as other commenters have pointed out, it's not even entirely clear that it is Henry in the video (it is).
