This ones about "The Big Sky - met.mix" where several people
talk about what they think some clouds look like. So far I have:

Man 1:	That cloud looks just like the tree at the
	bottom of our garden.
Lady:	That cloud looks like a little rounded tail.	*
Man 2:	That cloud looks like Commulus Castellus.	**
Man 1:	That cloud is nothing but trouble.
Lady:	This cloud looks like hmmm... one of those...
	things for... umm... you know		<this line overlapped with>
Man 1:	That cloud looks like one of those brown shiny things.
Man 3:	That cloud looks like snow.
Man 2:	No it doesn't!
Man 1:	This cloud looks like rain.
	<water sound>
	<general "hubbub" background speaking>
Man 4:	Order! This cloud should be removed immediately!
Man 5:	That cloud looks like industrial waste.

Man 1 has a "rural" accent
Man 2 has a "posh" accent
Man 3 has a southern accent
Man 4 is a sargent major/school teacher/speaker of the house
Man 5 has a northern accent
Although the multiple Man X's could be different men with similar
accents, or all just one or two men putting on accents.

My problems are:
* This could be "That cloud looks like a little round wood potato",
as the word "tail" is being pronounced like "p'tay-eel".
** Is there such a constellation as "Commulus Castellus"?

OK, fairly obsure question, as I only recently heard this mix, but
can someone correct me anywhere above ... please!
