Hmm, Raedwulf, I would have said that substituting "an illegible" for "an ineligible" is mince and tatties (mashed!) Perhaps the newsreader's script was illegible, or maybe he should have gone to Specsavers?

I really like Chinese food, and sometimes we get a takeaway for a treat.
I was quite amused when checking my bank statement to see a payment to 'Honk Konk'.

On holiday with my daughter and family: heard her telling our son we were "chillaxing" - mashup of chilling out and relaxing, I guess. Ok if you get the opporchancity.

'Physalis'. I went there years ago with my friend from Bingo, and sure as fate she read it out rather loudly as 'Syphalis'.

My wife did a temp job once as a demonstrator for a supermarket's food section. The demonstrators were asking the punters to sample physalis fruit. Despite intensive practice they were often asked if they'd like to try a phallus.

I was a shelf-filler at Victor Value in the 1960s for a while. One day a little old lady, in a muffled, indistinguishable voice, asked me where the bog-roll was. I was a bit taken aback at this apparent vulgarity but I led her round to the toilet rolls aisle. She stood and stared at the shelf then turned sharply to me and said "No! BOVRIL!"

I had a Mrs Slocombe moment yesterday evening while sitting on my bench with my cat SmokeyPokey. Ruth-across-the-road bellowed out from her front garden, "There yew sit agin, a-playin' with yer pussy!"

I couldn't decide whether it was a perfectly innocent remark or a very rude one. Knowing Ruth, I suspect the latter.

Her husband Robin is just as bad. He recently called over, "Cor! Yew look a roit picture moi dahlin' a-sitting there!" I simpered appreciatively, only to have him call, "Oi meant yer cat not yew yer fewl!"
They're really funny the pair of them, I like them so much.

Hope you gave your little old lady the correct answer, Steve: "the Bovril's with the gravy, and the Marmite's with the jam"!
