I'm sure you were a very convincing BBC radio announcer, Nigel. 
Not to wander too far off topic...I played the part of the Donkey in my primary school Christmas play. My friends gave me grief over my donkey costume, but I didn't mind...'Mary' got to ride me.

Well the Colonials wanted more emotion in my announcement but I finally convinced them that BBC news readers (at that time anyway) demonstrated very little emotion when reading the news.
'Mary' rode you! I can think of several comments I could make about that but to demonstrate I do have a little self-restraint and in the interest of decorum on here, I shall refrain, after all Brian, you did say this was in primary school.
