I could do with some jaunty vibes and a co-ordinated footbed.

It's an interesting substitution of reigns for the more conventional reins. I understand the two have the same etymological root . Important regal personages are often portrayed controlling splendid horses by means of reins.

'Oh dear BBC'

Is the thread title the opening line of a letter to the BBC? ?

When I read the question, I took 'Mauri' to be a person. Isn't there an 'Oprah-like' programme called 'Mauri'?
