Here’s a big blue boat with a bloke on the beach, some birds and a bunch of billowing clouds bibbling about in the background above the bay. Do you know who Beth was? She was the original name for the letter B when it was part of the Phoenician alphabet more than 3000 years ago. She looked different (it was before the nose job) but made the same sound and was second in their alphabet too. So next time your brain is being boiled and you find yourself babbling bollocks, you can blame bad-ass Beth.
