Anyone know the Clapham (Chapman?)and Dwyer 'phonetic' alphabet for years and years ago? 'A' for 'orses; 'B' for mutton, 'C' for yourself, etc, etc

Heard Bob Monkhouse recite it several years ago, but he rattled through so quickly, it went in one ear and out t'other. Thanks!

Thanks, Big Al, you're a star! Just goes to show that there's no such thing as a question too esoteric for these pages. JJ
