My dear Old Fanny was born in 1849 and has been missing since 1901 so must be quite Old and Shrivelled by now?

Does anybody rememember the TV chef Fanny Craddock and her husband Johnny? So the story goes, Johnny lurched onto the screen and drunkenly raised his wine glass, saying 'Goodnight viewers.... and here's hoping all your doughnuts turn out like Fanny's!'

Marion...no offence, but I think it's a scots name. I work in an office where we have hundreds of student files and we often have a laugh with names.. A good game is putting a first name or initial that matches a surname. Eg we have a Mr Cumber, so his first name has got to be Quentin (Qcumber!!!) or Neil NCumber!!! and Mr Drage whose first names are Robert Orville Adam (ROADrage!!!) Oh what fun!!!

Nudge for Chris' joke...ha ha ha. I knew a boy born surname Smellie (truly)..poor boy changed his name to Smillie and who can blame him. Hopefully he never married a Fanny....... Chris
