Thursday's Felixstowe Breakfast Briefing

By Derek Davis

22nd Jul 2021 | Local News

Thursday's On This Day

The Rev. William Archibald Spooner, Anglican clergyman and warden of New College, Oxford, was born in 1844. He was famous for 'Spoonerisms' in which letters are switched to produce such expressions as - 'It is kisstomary to cuss the bride' (.... customary to kiss the bride) 'a well-boiled icicle' ( .... well-oiled bicycle) and ' Come into the arms of the shoving leopard' (.... loving shepherd).

Send us your favourite Spoonerism just for fun.
