I am not the first person to comment on my stupidity, but I am often the last to notice it.
However, I noticed that half way through my last piece I mistakaenly changed the reptilian Adam Applegarth’s name to Appleyard.
I aplogise to all Appleyards.
“A rose by any other name would smell as sweet”. The same principle applies to shit, I imagine.
Drayton,
I love Spoonerisms and over the years have kept my children and grandchildren entertained with them. Your post led me to come up with this slightly contrived one.
The chairman of RBS is Sir Ian McKillop. Ignore the Mc in his surname, apply the Spoonerism and we get McPillock. He should be forced by act of parliament to change it by deed poll.
