I noticed this morning that I was guilty of the above when starting the thread on Bone Density Scans and was like, 'drat, why did you do that, when you've just attended a lecture training course on Overcapitalisation at work'?

Feel a bit better now because I see Geriatric Blogging Mom has done the same smile (Thinks - is that an ad?)

However - wish they wouldn't keep moving the goalposts, when I was at school the rule was a title gets a capital for every letter and a sentence had a capital for only the first word. Now a title is somehow a sentence? Note to self: Must Pay Attention.

I thought it was 'a' Babycham...(just to be pedantic)

I could be wrong....

I can't find the original on Google, but my recollection is that the girl says, 'I'd love a Babycham', followed by the jingle I quoted. I don't think 'a' would fit into the tune.

Grannyknot is thinking 'feetlebaum - voetsak!' right now...

My aunt had, on her birth certificate, "Place of birth: Behind the railway station, Johannesburg". My grandfather was an overseer, and they were building the station at the time!
