F. Anstey
This article started off being about the Ahlbergs' book, which is a completely different story from the recitation piece by Anstey. Apart from the name – which could well be just a coincidence, a short, common name beginning with "B" to match Burglar – I haven't seen any indication that it is an "adaptation". It is the Ahlbergs' version that has become familiar, so I am going to rearrange the article to reflect that. == Robina Fox (talk) 22:52, 2 August 2017 (UTC)

Catchphrase
I took out the sentence: They coined the catchphrase "I'll 'ave that". I couldn't find any references for it – possibly it was a short-lived catchphrase? It is also a bit problematic as in the book Bill says: "I'll have that." – no dropped aitch. Please feel free to re-add it if you know more. -- Robina Fox (talk) 02:14, 3 August 2017 (UTC)
