in reply to Spoken Code

<Aged-Brit> I could have sworn it was Captain Flack saying Pugh, Pugh, Barley, McGrew, Cuthbert, Dibble, Grub, the famous fireman's rollcall. Watching with mother. </Aged-Brit>

Update: Nope - I'm wrong. Just found an interview with Brian Cant, whoe had to repeaet the recording for a commercial in the UK. Barney McGrew is correct.

    :) I always thought I heard Barney, because Barney McGrew must be a persons name, and Cuthbert (which is a really esoteric real name) was the other person, Mr. C.D.Grub. Barley eh? Come to think of it, it's just nonsense. The mind of a 4 year old.....
    still. Ah happy memories. cheers,
