Rosemary Beetle, And Other Strange People

OK we dealt with her last week. Rosemary Beetle is just a pest. But there have been other strange characters mentioned in the past few days.

Lying in bed the other morning, we heard the bin lorry coming up the Close. Due to the excessive number of cars parked at the end, there is not sufficient room for a bin lorry to turn round. 

In fact, no room for a hearse, fire engine, ambulance or any long or large vehicle to manoeuvre  - so the majority of these come in backwards and go out forwards. So as I was lying there, contemplating making a cup of tea, I heard one of those synthesised voices,repeatedly  announcing these two men Theodore McNurty, Stan Wellclere

Theodore McNurty, Stan Wellclere could be refuse collection workers for Breckland District Council. But they aren't - it is just my crazy brain interpreting the automatic warning from the dustcart - Vehicle Reversing, Stand Well Clear !

Bob was talking about things he might like to do during retirement, including acquiring new craft skills. And getting to know new people "I'd like to learn more about Miguel Ding" he announced. I thought this was a craftsperson of Spanish/Chinese descent - but no

This was what he had in mind
I love these misheard Mondegreens [explanation here]

Do you have any strange characters whose names make you smile?
