This whole thimg started from surfing the net with my 10 year old son. We found the original and new Band Aid videos. Being the old man I am I knew all the people in the old video (and a few in the new) whilst my son didn't know any of them but knew a fair few of the new ones. It got me thinking about age boundaries and national boundaries, as to celebs. The peter kaye video is a perfect example of Brit celebs and I was wondering if anyone outside Britain would even know who they were.

The other reason for posting this was a few months ago an American (can't remember the net handle) posted the British Army version of this and I was wondering if he knew what it was based on.
