I paid a brief visit to Talksport earlier, and Alan Brazil was reviewing the morning's papers with a guest journalist. The topic moved on to the appointment of a new manager at Brentford, Marinus Dijkhuizen.
Brazil decided his listeners might appreciate an English translation of Marinus Dijkhuizen's surname. "Dyke house, house for dykes" was his suggestion. The journalist then chipped in with the more probable "house by the dyke". I had to laugh.
