    Not that great here, but I laugh at it. I once stayed with a friend at a convent in Belgium (because it was cheaper there than the Youth Hostel).

    There was another (middle aged) lady staying there that had a whole bowlful of prunes every morning for breakfast, with the addition of one spoonful of porridge. She was a great source of conversation between myself and my friend. We thought she needed help. LOL.

    Gutteral - goth the 'g' at the beginning and the 'gh' at the end. Like clearing the throat pretty much describes it.

    BTW - I didn't want to spoil lacelady's joke, I can see it may have been construed like that and it absolutely WASN'T my intention. Sorry for any possible offence caused, LL - end of hijack. :D
