Thanks folks. I am very sorry to hear that Muppett has been very ill Dave H, but it sounds like the old Muppett is now better and the occasional but patchy sightings suggest that he is coming back into circulation. Which is great news.

[Why is this starting to sound like a twitchers rare bird sighting by Bill Oddy?!!]

We all wish him a speedy and full recovery and a return to the folk scene in all his splendour.

By the way - is 'Muppett' spelt with one T or two T's at the end?

I can recall (but it's a bit hazy) finding a T shirt abroad which had 'Muppet' on the front and 'Muppets' Cocktail Bar' on the reverse which I bought as a present for Muppett, but when I gave it to him he declined it because he said it was the incorrect spelling and should have two T's at the end and seemed quite adamant about it!

I'm pretty sure that this is an accurate account but perhaps you know otherwise.

So far on this thread only Mrs Duck and Ray and GUEST has spelt it the same way as me -so what do you think?
