I mentioned Ronnie Corbett yesterday, and it occurred to me that some here on Mastodon who are interested in linguistics may not be aware of the famous 'Four Candles' comedy sketch from 'The Two Ronnies'.

A link to a video of the sketch is attached. The sketch, which first aired in 1976, is especially amusing to those working in dialectology and sociolinguistics.
