I'm also a Brit, and remember as a kid there was an english comedian by the name of George Formby who played a uke. Here's a clip of his most famous number.

mikewj - you know, I'm just old enough to remember the BBC showing Formby's "When I'm Cleaning Windows" every so often but I thought I'd wiped that whole image/song from my memory. I think I was successful until you mentioned it!
Now that song is going to stay in my mind for days. Thanks so much. [
]Anyway, you got me! It was well known in the UK but bet it isn't now, at least with anyone a few years younger than me. Having said that, I love listening to the local ukulele talent as long as they don't sing about cleaning windows...
