You see, my mum and I have this thing about mis-pronouncing various words for added effect. Why? Well, suppose 'cos we can! I think it's just part of our eccentric nature and it gives us a little pleasure and a little fun. So as another example, we may be out in the country one day when we happen upon Mr Goose and all of the other Geeses (sic) or perhaps we may be watching Draklia (sic) on TV being taken away in an ambliance (sic) and so it goes on.

Breaking a few hearts along the way.

By the way, the one with the black face is called Harold
