Superb, as always. Fascinating to read of Partridge's pseudonym Corrie Denison - which ties in nicely with my theory that Edmund Blackadder III in 'Ink & INcapability' is partly a parody of Partridge. - The use of the pseudonym Gertrude Perkins , like Corrie Denison adds an extra layer of plausibility. Being a resident of New Zealand, although not a 'born and bred' Kiwi, I would assume that Partridge learnt his slang well before the trenches of The Somme. here in the Land of the Long-Wide-Clown -'Kiwheeze' is a language all its own - and after 20 years of residency I still don't understand half of it.
Thank you, too. I hope it comes in useful.
