And how on earth did the Mayans know about the Pyrenees then?

Rumours get around. They probably read about them in the Daily
Mail.

Oh THE origional tabloid.

Wasn't that The Sketch?


No it was the Post


Evening or morning?

You needed the sun to tell you.

Didn't that come from The Herald?

I loved the Evening Standard there was a junior crossword in it and
cartoons i think. My dad used to bring it back from London every night
and I think there were other puzzles as well.
Comedians used to imitate the newspaper boys shouting Evening Standard
as it used to come out rather like "evenin' staddurd"

They obviously only ever heard the eloquent ones. It always sounded to
me like "E'ee'n Sta'ard". Makes one wonder who Ian Stard is.

It took me years to work out what they were shouting, and I finally deduced it was a *******ised version of "standard". Then came the time when there was a strike at the Standard, and only the News was available. Did the cry change? No.

Wow - please do tell me, urglers - gb has bowdlerised my post and replaced "illegitimate" by a row of stars. Has it appeared that way in urg?

Reminds me of a road building outfit whose engineers were getting increasingly frustrated by the automatic content checker routinely removing all reference to "hard core".
