Here are the cricket scores. Yorkshire 342 - Hutton ill. I'm sorry, that
should be Hutton 111.

Famous spoonerism by French newscaster, who instead of saying "la
population du Cap" ... What can you say about a man who is not just days
or months behind his time, but centuries? Where was he when the Borgias
held the Papacy?

I'd have expected "Eschury" as the local sound if you were somewhere like
Far Essix.

The old East Neuk dialect could be a bit of a challenge. As may be some of
Dundonian. Although the alleged Aberdonian, "Ye'll 've had yer tea before
ye came", was easy enough to decode. 8-]

I understood that to be an Edinburgh line (now replaced with "but you'll be
driving". According to Stanley Baxter, the Aberdeen one was that you were
ushered into the front room, the table was groaning with food, beautifully
cooked and very reasonably priced."

A colleague from Glasgow was always responsible for commissioning the tannoy
systems in new buildings, instead of "one, two. one, two" he had a set piece
very smutty limerick that he would recite ... he laid the accent on a bit
thicker than normal, so that most people in the building wouldn't *quite* grasp
the words :-)

I don't know where this happened, but the story is that someone had to
translate to another language an English item about some politian's
invalid wife. He read 'invalid' (ill) as 'not valid' and translated it
as his equivalent of 'common-law' (i.e. not married). The company was
sued.
