	The title speaks for itself really!! This is a raucous romp of a song in the bawdy traditional Celtic folk style. Its the old story - coal miner meets girl, coal miner courts girl, mine shaft caves in, girl turns out to be a man. We've all been there haven't we?

	Story Behind the Song Mr Tooting: Though set in the eighteen hundreds, this track was inspired by modern day events. Pervis was enjoying a week in Tuscany on a singles folk holiday. It was late, and the rest of the group were feverishly engaged in performance poetry and high speed basket weaving activities in competition with a local craft troop. Pervis had decided to wonder off on his own for walk on the beach, and after a while got talking to a 'lady' also out for a stroll. Now Pervo suffers from heat exhaustion, and he claims this may have impaired his judgement on that summers evening, but the fact remains that he unwittingly ended up taking another man back to his tent that night. Pervis and myself penned the lyrics on Skye during our 1999 stay after consuming a number of ales with the Tanner on a breezy autumn evening.
