   Early twenties, so it can't have been too long ago.
   I see two possibilities: 1. Since the program was in German anyway, the
                               programmers decided redubbing wasn't worth
                               the effort just to save people being tricked
                               by the accents;
                            2. He made it up. Mr Hooper is a fund of stories,
                               on every subject from stock exchange pubs to

                               dessert, and I can't always tell when he's
