Robert Peel founded the police, thats why police are called bobbies (and also at one time peelers)


the song about John Peel

D'ye ken John Peel at the break of day

Is about a farmer, 'ken' of cause being Scottish or old English for 'know', couldn't tell if you knew that or were being facetious


The John Peel referred to by the original poster is the Late Britsh DJ
