    Just buy your fruit and piss off!

    CLASSIC!!!

  • Lol, 'magic e'!

    Of course, by the end of the 80s, the majority of ravers agreed with Wordy!

  • I loved the magic pencil. Can you guess which letter I'm describing from magic pencil? "Top to bottom, round and flick!" :-p

  • @emu69emu That's spelling not grammar - you should have said "bullie's"!

  • We used to watch this at school, and I still find myself singing the phrase, 'magic, magic, e' at times.

  • "Who gave you permission to leave your desk PC Morgan? And I'll have your ruddy guts on a pike if I ever hear you refer to a senior officer in that manner again, do you hear lad?"

  • what is he saying on the bill??? it really is impossible to work out, even after all the loling.

  • Hero!

  • @batmanofni I'm no Lynne Truss, but it's called a split digraph. It always accompanies a vowel (making the vowel a long sound) but has at least one other letter keeping it separate.

  • Does anyone know what the proper name for 'magic e' is?

  • @pow1983 youtube.com/watch?v=lwx8QOgYfs­E check this!

  • I'm a bit of a Grammar Nazi myself, although, watching this, I'm beginning to reconsider...
