Not sure about yr answer Crimson. I thought Skippy was a famous Australian kangaroo (the Ozzie answer to Lassie, although I think the old 'What's the matter Lassie?' 'bark-bark-bark-bark!' 'What! Little Jimmy's fallen in the well?' 'Bark-bark-bark-bark!' 'And the rope's broken so you can't pull him out?', etc., etc., was replaced with some strange chittering and mouth wobbling which is all kangaroos can do, otherwise the 'conversation' followed much the same line - BTW whaever happend to Rin-tin-tin? - Go, Rinty, go!! - and anyone remember the name of his young boy master? Did he go on to greater things, like, maybe Champion the Wonder Horse, or perhaps The Elephant Man?? ). Sorry, got a bit carried away there - back to Skippy - IMHP, that makes the saying more visually appealing to an Australian (and possibly even to a Welshman) who would usually have to make do with a sheep!
