The way those uncouth colonials butcher the Queen's English is abominable.
The service should send Steed and Mrs Peel to make them conform. |
Terpsichore? It's all Greek to me.

Oh, I had to look it up to catch that pun. :thumb:

The only one that I know I got wrong was ague, which I thought rhymed with plague, rather than plague you.

Hah!
Pardon me, I'm in quite an advanced state of refreshment; to paraphrase our dear Carruthers. |

I'm told that Looga-Barooga, sorry Loughborough, is the one visitors from across the Atlantic struggle with most. As for 'ague' - you should keep up with your Shakespeare and 'Twelfth Night' (season appropriate) featuring the pale and blond Sir Andrew Aguecheek. |

Ah, you know, I only mentioned it because I'm always annoyed that the people of Worcester Township are somehow saying it wrong.
It makes them sound like county bumpkins, and they live in $5,000,000 homes. |
Horse and worse got me after saying horse then worse about made my bottom plate fall out.

As in Northamptonshire? Or a sports team chant? |
Comedian James Acaster has a whole bit about Loughborough being called "Looga-Barooga," which I assumed Rhianne was referencing. Another bit of his is a supposed sports song he made up about Kettering Town FC (his home town.)
It's funnier than it sounds: |
All is now clear!
Many thanks. :thumb: |
Exhausting but funny!
