If y'all Brits can't even understand each other, how in the world can we cross-ponders keep up?

Dody, the new series of "I'm sorry, I haven't a clue" will be starting soon, on Radio 4 at 6.30 pm on Mondays - watch out for it, listen carefully, and when they play Mornington Crescent, listen hard - the rules are actually extremely simple.
(BTW, they don't play it every week - usually every second week - the excitement is too much for the old codgers who are on the programme.)

Even if it takes you a while to catch on to MC, the r4est of the programme is very well worthwhile listening to.

ISIHAC is back - oh joy! Can't wait! In the meantime I'll just have to make do with The News Quiz and Just a Minute - both equally spectacular.

Mornington Crescent I can do, but how would we go about International Mornington Crescent? I have a feeling life could get quite complicated.
