Re: Thornton's new sweet shop
the other musical one I always recall is the sharps & flats key-signature thingy: sharps are Father Charles Goes Down And Ends Battle and flats are Battle Ends And Down Goes Charles' Father... I remember thinking it was really clever how it was the same words in the reverse order but made sense in both directions, and it just stuck in my mind.

Nelly's porch has been torn down, though. Venus must eat her jam sponges under Nelly, these days.
And Adele's mother is obviously trying to replicate the supposed hallucinogenic effects of nutmeg by feeding it to her children without the benefit of pie. Very entertaining indeed!
