…This might come from my being an American and not aware of certain UK slang, but Linton calling Lottie “Potty Grote” years ago had led me to second guess if Grote was pronounced “Grot-ee” instead of Grote as in “boat”, to you know, make a juvenile rhyme. Unless “potty” is as Alan speculated that Linton meant it as just being crazy bonkers? Someone please free me from this decade-long confusion.
