Pythonesque aside

For some reason I was thinking about the Python sketch where someone can't say the letter 'c' and it comes out as 'b' (hard to describe in writing!). Describing their education, they refer to Queens' Bollege, Bambridge (or Keble Bollege Oxford in another version).

Just as well this University didn't exist then, or we'd be the University of Bumbria. Sounds like something from The Importance of Being Earnest!

Or Banterbury Bhrist Bhurch seeing as you've just returned from there...

Bumbria is a good one though!

Thanks to some spraypaint on one of the construction screens, we ARE the University of Bumbria. Also the University of Cum.

I must admit I got a childish amusement out of this.

Oh, apologies, I didn't really think that one through before I posted it.

Hope it caused no offense, all I meant to do was point out what's there as you drive into the car park.
