Fanny's not toooooo bad... if you've a moment and it doesn't get lost in translation, here's a funny anecdote:
We used to have a TV cookery programme featuring a lady chef called Fanny Craddock. Her husband Jonny would summarise at the end of every show. They both spoke in quite posh English accents (which always added a certain amusement). One night Fanny was making donuts and Jonny summarised by wishing the viewers luck, saying: "Well goodnight everybody and we hope your donuts turn out like Fanny's".
