On the subject, a few posts ago now, of tourettes
Somewhere else Nick (I think) asked why Tourettes sufferers didn't say "By Gad" and other such things.
Woodstock went shopping today and as she rounded the first aisle she encountered a man in a wheelchair. He seemed almost to follow her around the shop, sometimes coming up behind her and sometimes appearing in front of her. He had all the classic tourettes symptoms, the twitches and the shouting but his exclamations were made in a "cut glass" accent and consisted of "Oh my Golly Gosh" .... Oh my Golly, Golly Gosh" and "Oh Golly Gosh". Nothing else.
The checkout girl said he was a regular and never swore.
