[Andy Green]

Once upon a time in deepest 3 counties radio there stirred an "old" storyteller.........................

Called.... Hob Nob Gobby Bobby!!

[Mary Lindsay]

Bobby (as he was known to his gnome friends) sat down in his creaking old rocking chair, stroked his long white beard while he decided which story to tell the circle of eager listeners sitting round the fire and instantly fell asleep.....

[jack bellinger]

Wot the Listeners !!!

[Mary Lindsay]

Wot the Listeners !!!

Jack, you aren't concentrating!

If you had carefully followed the grammatical construction of the text you would realise that it was Bobby who fell asleep, if I meant the listeners I would have said "who instantly fell asleep"

Apparently Bobby is still asleep as he hasn't yet started telling his story......

[jack bellinger]

Mary are you saying all the Listeners are going to be called Grumpy !

[Mary Lindsay]

Probably Jack.
Smudge has a cute nickname for me - he calls me "The Poison Dwarf" - such a nice thing brotherly love...

[Leigh Sebba]

‘Who’ or ‘whom’ fell asleep ?

I recall the Poison Dwarf was in ‘Dallas’ – didn’t realise it was you Mary

[Mary Lindsay]

‘Who’ or ‘whom’

That is a more complex grammatical issue, what is your opinion?

I recall the Poison Dwarf was in ‘Dallas’

I never watched Dallas but maybe I was in it without realising it.

...and now back to the main plot - the seven grumpy dwarves became tired of waiting for old Bobby t tell his story so they started a game of consequences .....

[Leigh Sebba]

" Who’ or ‘whom’

That is a more complex grammatical issue, what is your opinion? "

I have read and not understood many discussions about this question. Personally I always write 'who' on the basis it is correct about half the time.

But – to get back to the plot – as I recall it consequences involves folding the piece of paper after each line – now I don’t have a folding computer screen.

But – here goes –

The Poison Dwarf

While digging in the deep snow found, to her amazement, ......

Anne Widdecombe dressed as a Fairy Queen swung down and landed heavily in the snow and said.........

“ That’s not a wand – that’s a Moss Box gear lever. I know one of those as….”
