we once lived in the van on a bit of ground shared by others . i'd heard that an unpleasant chap called Peacock was trying to move in .
another van dweller ,a dry fellow who rarely spoke, stood next to me in silence one morning . after a while ,he cleared his throat, and said '' i hear that Partridge bird is hoping to nest up here ''
''oh dear '' i replied '', that would be unpheasant ''
cue dry chuckle
