Sundae polaroid of perfection Join Date: Sep 2005 Location: West Yorkshire Posts: 24,185	My Dad is dyslexic, so I haven't included some of his classics as it's not fair..... But Michelle Pettifer (Pfeiffer) made me laugh. Sandwich is often pronounced Samwitch here. I can hold my hand up to it myself (have sat here saying it repeatedly under my breath - I think my colleagues are looking up Witchfinder General on Yell.Com)
