“Rudd as Leader” again? As a forescin pathologist, I’ve been doing a bit of research myself, and 200 years ago or so, there was this family in Germanly or somewhere, and they were so poor they couldn’t afford their own kids, so they “ginger-bred(?)” one – apparently they don’t eat much and cost less to keep; and when you get tired of them you can kill and eat him? But one day he escaped the cellar his daddy kept him in and he ran away, till he came to the “River of Travails(?)” and was stuck “to all in tents and porpoises(?)”? But a friendly FOX (named “Rupert” I think), said he’d help him across. He just had to grab onto his tail and he’d do the Right thing and pull him through that tide. Sew he did. Well first his feet got wet, so the FUX (he was an “Amirkin one”?) said “jump my Loins”, so he did, they’re a bit dry but there warm. But a little bit later his feet were getting wet again, so the FUX said “I got some news for you, jump on my head and I’ll keep you safe!” So he did, and as he did the FUX opened his mouth and swallowed. I reckon Kevin is just like that “Ginger-bred boy”?
NB.
I think the actual phrase at that initial interview was he’d “Get him a cross”(?) – but apparently there was shortage of wood, so he said he’d carry him?
And I almost forgot (that FUX) “he opened his mouth and swallowed him hole”.
