Lost Consonants

I got a an email from the accounts department of a company, who shall not remain nameless as it was COLT, and I read part of it as "We have had problems due to a number of new farces in the accounts department". In fact there was no 'r' in farce but there definitely should have been.

There used to be a cartoon called Lost Consonants in one of the Sunday Magazines and I used to find it fairly amusing. In fact there are a lot of opportunities waiting to be found.

For instance I was thinking about this when passing a sweetshop that said they had a great choice. I was thinking about having a great choc-ice at the time.

Lost Consonants still appears in the Weekend section of Saturday's Guardian. You mentioned that you found the cartoon amusing, but you mistakenly typed the word 'fairly' instead of the word 'extremely'.
All best wishes, Graham Rawle
