   …Merry, merry king of the bush is he…”

   BTW we pronounce it as in “cook” (chef). I’ve noticed that Americans say it as in “crazy person”.

   I keep meaning to get some sound recording gear, as I live next to a bush reserve full of kookaburras. Get five of them on the same branch and it’s like a laughing track version of a Brandenburg Concerto.

   I think I say something wavering between cook and kook. If I’m singing the song I think it’s closer to cook. It was Peter’s birfday yesterday, btw, hence the zoo visit.

   Is that under P or under M of the baby animal dictionary?

   Isn’t it the Atlantic Accent that is a sort of a merger of US East Coast and England? Perhaps you’ve got a Pacific Accent.
