Also, I just have a hard time imaging that Alfred would call a TV a 'telly'. Seems, I dunno, too Cockney.

I'm curious, are you British yourself? Because as a Brit I think "telly" sounds perfectly feasible coming from Alfred. It's not a word associated particularly with cockneys, at least. And I should know, since my grandmother's one.

Not even slightly British. I didn't actually mean it was a Cockney phrase specifically (since it certainly isn't)....just that coming from Alfred, it didn't sound right.

Of course, since Alfred in the movies is currently PLAYED BY A COCKNEY (Michael Caine hails from the Elephant and Castle), that's kind of silly. But when I hear Alfred talk in my mind, I hear Efram Zimbalist Jr....and I just can't image him saying it. It's too...I dunno, informal, somehow.

I didn't say it was a REASONABLE objection, you understand. :)
