Repetion, Repetition, Repetition, Repton

Repton is the name of the famous public school where John Grundy went in the 1950s. He told me this way back in the 1960s in Ghana.
I have remembered it ever since. Those four words sum up boarding school life perfectly.
So why did I remember them?

Pick up a Penguin.

That is another strap line which I have never forgotten.

Proper preparation prevents piss-poor performance.

Once again the army gets it right. You cannot ever get that out of your mind.



So how does it work?
You guessed?
Just string some words together and repeat the first letter.

Round the rugged rock, the ragged rascal ran.

Furry felines feeling funny.

Full fathom five thy father lies.

Corbyn – kind, concerned, corrupt.

Boris – benign, bombastic, beaming.

Screaming Swinson.

And it works everywhere.

Alliteration

Works every time!
Just do not overdo it.
