In memoriam
Tilly Nov 27, 2013

I remember a limerick in the letters column of a paper in 1944, shortly after the D-Day landings.

I suppose that they think it sounds silly
To have captured a place that's called Tilly.
So the good BBC
Now calls it "Teeyee",
But the soldier won't call it that, will he?
