	I remember one funny comment about prats. It may have been in a Steptoe and Son episode where one character said that he went to a firm of Solicitors called Pratt, Pratt, Brown and Pratt. He actually saw Mr Brown, whom the character described as the biggest prat in the firm

	I have no-one with the surname Pratt in my tree, definitely no I Pratt. Methinks the word in mind was 'prat'. Interesting Etymopogy: From Middle English prat, from Old English præt, prætt (“trick, prank, craft, art, wile”), from Proto-Germanic prattuz (“boastful talk, deceit”), from Proto-Indo-European brodno- (“to wander about”). Cognate with Saterland Frisian prat, Dutch pret (“fun, pleasure, gaity”), obsolete Dutch prat (“cunning, strategem, scheme, a prideful display, arrogance”), Low German prot, Norwegian prette (“trick”), Icelandic prettur (“a trick”). Related to pretty. Who'd a thought it! - and there's lots more! :-D :-D

	Gasps Fun? Jokes? Light-hearted banter? Anathema; shocking. Quick send for the Fun Police, all such posts must be extirpated.
