I also remember singing 'The Happy Wanderer' at Woodlands Park Infants (now Chestnuts) School - The song about Wanderburschen http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wanderjahre
'Mein Vater war ein Wandersmann' 'und mir steckt's auch im Blut' :o)

'Big Man' is charged. The man who dealt with a fare dodger by throwing him off a train is charged with assault.
