Let's see if this works...
Normally, this would be a "Weekend Notes" entry over on Aeternus Arcanus, but I've never tried to embed a video over there before, so apologies for the re-direction notice.
Right, so here's the BBC clip (complete with mispronunciation of "aristocrats" in the commentary):

Here's the curiously partisan background to the story from the Beeb last year:
http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/scotland/tayside_and_central/6944534.stm
And a slightly more 'rounded' account of all the hoo-hah from the Daily Telegraph (don't worry - my tongue is firmly in my cheek, as ever, when I say that):
http://my.telegraph.co.uk/arw/august_2007/glenalmond_chav_hunt_film_wins_universal_praise.htm
And, finally (fingers crossed), the original full three minute video itself:
(Just in case LiveJournal gets the arseache with Sumo TV .flv embedding, you can also view it here: http://www.sumo.tv/video/2893813)
The only additional thing to mention, I suppose, is that loud, pointless fireworks going off after 10:30 PM are not acceptable. (Small potatoes, given the bigger picture: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-1023105/Living-Britain-dangerous-Balkans-report-reveals.html)
Oh, and I own a bone-handled riding crop.
'Nuff said.
