I WAS interested to read in the Mike Amos column (Echo, June 29) that he had been sent a letter which first appeared in The Daily Telegraph and was signed by the Reverend Peter Mullen.
The letter was about toilet euphemisms and it reminded me of a story that the late broadcaster Macdonald Hobley once told.
He phoned a friend in America but had to hold the line for a while. When the friend took the call, he said: “Sorry to keep you waiting. I was on the marble horse”.
