Kipper Kapers
Old Welsh Intelligence Test Question: “Does a kipper swim folded or flat?”
5-4-3-2-1 –
Time’s up, Ladies and Gentlemen.
So – what’s your answer?
Yes? No? Maybe? I don’t know?
It’s a trick question of course / wrth gwrs. And Kippers can play tricks on you too as they flipper and flapper, and flip and flop. Especially if you eat them late at night.
So this is a painting of a midnight Kipper Kaper Attack, when you want to sleep, but can’t, because you don’t know the answer to the kipper IQ test and all those little kippers are capering around and making fun of you and mocking you.
How do you avoid a Kipper Kaper Attack when the bad dreams start and the Kippers Kaper? Well, you answer this next Welsh IQ test question. “Adam and Eve and Pinch Me when down to the river to swim. Adam and Eve got drowned. Who do you think was saved?”
And if you answer “Pinch Me!” Then I will, and when I do, you’ll wake up, and you’ll be safe from another Kipper Kaper attack until the next time you eat them.
There – simple isn’t it?

I was watching a move-to-Wales show today, and the focus was on Swansea-Gower. I thought of you, wondering if you recalled the ‘backbone’ hill that ran through The Gower. The beaches were glorious, and I wondered if you had trod that sand and water as a youth. Thinking of you. Chuck

Of course I did. Swansea Sands, the Mumbles, Limeslade, Langland, Caswell, Brandy Cove, Pwll Ddu, Pennard, Three Cliffs, Rhosili, Oxwich… Clare wanted me to watch it with her and I said no. I was afraid I would break down in tears. My childhood, my life!
