[Bickerton, Roderic (SELEX GALILEO, UK)]

The really famous one was the BBC presenter worried about the proper
pronunciation of the composers name let go an excellent Spoonerism for
"The Flight of the Bumblebee."

It's rather like the rather stuffy radio announcer some years ago who
opened the Whit Monday (that dates it!) morning's broadcasting with the
following words, "Good morning and welcome to the Radio 3 on this Bonk
Haliday Monday."

It was quite clear from the moment the words escaped his lips he'd
realised what he said!

	Did these include the band that met one short at Tiverton and
the ringer 
	that was seven short at Twerton (Bath)? A case of my father not
dotting the 
	letter i on his hand-written invitation. 
	
	Or how about the seven that met at Quorn (aka Quorndon) and the
one that 
	went to Quarndon, Derbyshire (1, 7-1-4 in C).... 
	
	Merry Christmas
	Nick
