Seems like we all got sidetracked here.  About spoonerisms - when my daughter was about eight years old a neighbour gave her a bag of humbugs.  She came back home but humbugs was not the word she used!

When someone mentions Somerset or Devon and cider this song comes to mind and it drives me mad LOL

Music!Coates comes up from Somerset,
Where the cider apples grow,
There’s nothing like sweet cider
To make a party go.Music!

Hey Ron, as an ex train driver I resent that remark. Shunting me off down a side track indeed.
