Fry's English Delight

Posted by Gary Martin on August 25, 2009 at 13:02

The last episode in Stephen Fry's radio series on language went out on the BBC today, complete with a small contribution from me. It was based on the various greeting words we have in English, notably 'hello'. The programme is online at [Dead link removed - ed] if you fancy a listen.

The series title is a nice pun for us here in the UK. Less so if Fry's Turkish Delight chocolate bars aren't sold where you live.
