For years I fell for the urban myths about Jonny Craddock saying 'may all your donuts look like Fanny's' and the Captain Pugwash ones.
All the above seem genuine, i remmeber some of them , although am sure some were planned 'slipups'

[Canary42]

Yes bobbinwales, the 8 inches one sounds planned (even if only by the news anchor girl)
