You wouldn’t be bothered to pinch pinchbeck.

What is the difference between sprig and sprog?

One’s got a tittle and the other one hasn’t.

A beacon can beckon, but you can’t beckon a beacon.

What is a gooseberry fool?

Well, that would be me; I’m a fool for gooseberries.

What is a bakewell tart?

A multi-talented patissiere.

What is a bistro?

A stro that swings both ways.

One who finds any discussion of the merits of fruit preserves to be rather tedious.

You might say ‘opportunist’: I say ‘dodgy geezer’.
