The other mispronunciation shop sketch...


There is a very similar sketch, where the roles are reversed - and - Ronnie Corbett is a customer, from a foreign land, with poor English, going into a grocery shop, trying to buy things like '2ast' (meaning toast) and 'marmalladee' (meaning marmalade). Everything he tries to pronounce, confuses Ronnie Barker - but - the words used are a very clever 'play on words'.


Would love to see this again, too.

You mean the The Sheikh In The Shop sketch. Like most of the best sketches it is on youtube.
