I was amused this morning as I was sat by the river. Two mothers went past with their young children in pushchairs; these were cunning pushchairs with a front and a back seat. As they approached, one mother said `look, the black swan; who can see the black swan?' Then as they got closer to the black swan, she said 'It's an antipodean swan; it comes from Australia or New Zealand'. I smiled and thought `yes, that's the way to do, use long words and they'll learn them and not be scared'. It's like Beatrice Potter and Soporofic!

Thank you. I was too busy not falling into the mispronounced spelling (sopowific) that I got my vowels confused!
