Killiney Beach, just north of Bray

it's a different Bray in The Vicar of Bray, isn't it (he said pedantically)

[Nick Armstrong]

I'm not sure I'm all there

A doubt widely shared over the years...

[rubbernecker]

it's a different Bray in The Vicay of Bray, isn't it (he said pedantically)

Is that almost the same as a Vicar? (he asked pedantically)

Well I pedantically put my foot in it. Or not.

Wiki says:

A satirical 18th century song, "The Vicar of Bray", recounts the career of a vicar of Bray, Berkshire, towards the end of this period and his contortions of principle in order to retain his ecclesiastic office despite the changes through the course of several monarchs from Charles II to George I. A comic opera covers a later period in 18th century history, while a film set in Bray, County Wicklow, in Ireland, covers Charles I, the English Civil War, the Commonwealth of England, The Protectorate, and restoration of Charles II.
