Posh people pronounce the names Ralph as Rafe, Featherstonehaugh as Fanshaw, Cholmondeley as Chumley, Glamis as Glarms, Althorpe as Althrup. They also say Orf instead of Off and Gorn instead of Gone.

So why do they sneer at ordinary mortals saying Newcasstle instead of Newcarstle and 'amstead instead of Hamstead?

How do baby cuckoos know that they are a cuckoo and have to fly south.?
They never met their mum and dad.
And.....
Do they all assemble at a 'baby cuckoo meet ' before setting off, or do they just know the way alone?

Suzian,
Don't know where the teaspoons go, but a young girl I know honestly believes that the space above the tub in the washing machine is where all the socks go as the agitators throw them out.
