Absolutely not. I refute that. My mind is as clean as... um, a clean thing, or a moderately clean thing, well a bit clean anyway...

Nah we didn't have piccilo's at Hertfoird - we learnt all the BIG instruments! like saxaphones, Clarinets, trumpets trombones and flutes.... etc.... nothing as small as a piccalo ever entered whilst I was there!

My main instrument was the flute - they didn't have any flutes in the band so the flautists played the piccolo (2 reasons were given for this - the piccolo can be heard better (as it's more shrill!) in a band and flutes could knock people in the head in marching manoveures
