    Was in HK a few years ago taking a taxi to the Conrad in Central. Taxi driver did not know Conrad, so I tried Marriott, which you pass about 200metres before. He didn’t know that either so I tried Shangri-La, which is 100metres past the Conrad. He didn’t know that either>

    “OK, I’ll show you” said I. As we passed the Marriott I pointed it out, and he nodded wisely. Then past the Conrad to turn back and I pointed to the Shangri-La.

    “Ah!” he exclaimed “Shan gorilla!”

    My personal favourite is one anyone with a stutter should do well to stay clear of.

    The capital of Madagascar – Antananarivo.

    Canucklad, what a wonderful sketch. Thanks for sharing.

    Tramor, I’ve always enjoyed Scheveningen, great walks on the beach and pancakes on the prom!

    Conshaldow, I don’t stutter and even I can’t say it! 😉
