My god, I haven't heard that for flamin' years!    I didn't understand it as a child, til Mum explained it to me.  It was far too subtle for me.

I did use to thoroughly enjoy Victor Borge's Phonetic Punctucation though...

(nothing to do with the thread, but hearing that song made me think of this and other things we used to love as kids!)

Trayo,

As Maurice Chevalier sang  "Ah yes,  I remember it well",  I fondly remember Victor.   What a wonderful ambassador to Denmark.   As a mediocre piano-player myself,  I was enthralled by his technical ability and that his training started at the age of two!

That sketch should be listened to by all who,  through pressure of work and play,  are stressed out!

thanks for the memory and the laugh,

Ian

it did me good too!  It's been a rough few days, so your prompting was good timing!
