Thread Name: Help: recitation-curate (a BA from Caius)
Subject: Help: recitation
A friend of mine is looking for a recitation about a wedding. He thinks it may be from the 192Os. It is a play on odd British pronunciations - for example, Worcester pronounced Wooster etc. There's not much to go on, but perhaps a UK 'catter may know it. The following is all he can recall:

Two lines are:

Then the curate (a BA from Caius)
Let out an incredible snaius

And:

The choir was from Beauleigh

The bridegroom was 'from Cholmondeley' and the bride was 'quite colmondeley'.

That's it. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.
