Did you see the name of the guy who wrote the article?

These sort of anomalies will always crop up, and we rather make fools of ourselves in trying to steer round them.

The more senior folk will remember the famous `'the batsman's Holding the bowler's Willey.

They're really no more than harmless puns, and "victims" can just grin and bear it (or even bare it!).

[Canary42]

........ not to mention this one.

[JimF]

Not to mention Dick van Dyke whose real name, as any fule kno, was Penis van Lesbian.

Residents in the Cock Bridge/Tomintoul area have already formed an action committee to repel these vile people should they happen to arrive.

As for the good burghers of Bonkle...

[Prudie]

Dick Turpin? Definitely offensive but first they need to get the name of his horse changed. Horror of horrors she was called Black Bess.....
