Four candles? No, 'andles for forks....

We have had a couple of 'Two Ronnies' moments during the last couple of weeks.

(Visitors from abroad who have no idea what or who a 'Two Ronnies' moment is, please apply yourselves to Google, thus saving me a digression of such enormity that one of Oliver Sacks's footnotes would seem the very soul of brevity in comparison...)

Anyway.

'Two Ronnies Moment' v.1.0

John and Mark are returning from re-roofing Jane's airship shed in a nearby Cambridgeshire village. John is driving The Hairdresser's Car. Both are tired, somewhat dehydrated and thinking chiefly of food and beer...... The conversation turns to mutual friends........

Mark: "Rhoda works in Cottenham"

John: "Where??? I didn't see the signs....."


'Two Ronnies Moment' v.1.1

John, Mark and James are having a beer in their favourite Parish pub following a successful Bank Holiday Monday installment of the BMC 1.5 engine fitting saga.

John nips outside to phone someone who may need a favour doing. During the conversation, the following exchange takes place:

John: " Well, Mark, James and I are sitting having a beer in The Sun..."

Friend: "Really? Aren't you the lucky ones! It's absolutely pouring down here!"

Well, we laughed......

Hmmmmmmmm.......

Perhaps you had to be there, really.......
