English Lesson 14

Thanks to a gent called Kevin Hale the clever wordplay of some of the best Comedians and Raconteurs has been saved for countless generations to enjoy or express confusion over.

These are yet more contortions and distortions of the English Language as part of a regular feature of the BBC Radio Show "I'm Sorry I haven't a Clue" over the last two or more decades. I admit that most of them are my own given that the actual supply is very limited.
