English Lesson 15

I can't believe that I missed out on an English Lesson Post in April but then again we have all had a lot to keep us occupied recently. This is a return to the compilation by Superfan Kevin Hales of the wonderful definitions of words from the long running BBC Radio Show of "I'm Sorry I haven't a clue". 

I will offer this months rendition in tribute to a regular performer amongst the very accomplished comedians who have appeared over the years- Tim Brooke Taylor who sadly passed away a few weeks ago.
