Having just heard the sad news of Ronnie Barker passing away, I did a quick google to see whether he ever visited Ventnor. I haven’t found the answer yet, so if anyone knows if he had any connection with the town, please email me.
Anyway, came across this rather amusing definition of Ventnor on the The Meaning of Liff Website.
Ventnor (n.)
One who, having been visited as a child by a mysterious gypsy lady, is gifted with the strange power of being able to operate the air-nozzles above aeroplane seats.
Anyone ever met this mysterious gypsy lady?
Alternative definitions welcomed.
