A fact and a joke.

The fact:

Erinsborough, the fictional suburb in which Australian soap Neighbours is set, is an anagram of the word Neighbours. Am I the last person to discover this?

The joke (from last night’s London Paper, and which everyone seems to laugh at before saying it’s terrible):

Why should you never marry a Dutch girl with inflatable shoes?
Because you never know when she might pop her clogs.

I thank you.

I never knew “Neighbours” had two “o”s in it. Or two “r”s for that matter.

Hmmm. Good point. Perhaps it’s an anagram for the second half of the sentence ‘Home and Away OR NEIGHBOURS?’
