Gagmeister?

Humourmonger?

Mirthateer?

If this is the standard of BBC journalism then the North West doesn’t want them trundling up here with their la-di-da Southern ways, buying all of the houses in Cheshire* and lowering our average IQs.

*Won't someone think of the footballers.

I saw Rachel Burden** in Heaton Park the other day. She looked like a very tall owl in a woolly hat.

**It may not have been her. It may have been a very tall owl in a woolly hat.

it's a perfectly logical word construction, much like a shoesmith, blacksmith etc etc. I don't have a problem with it personally.

That would be a cobbler. Unless you're referring to an utterly incompetent civil servant responsible for the death of a toddler...

I'd like to see Mishal Husain walking through Heaton Park.

It would be very aesthetically pleasing and would significantly increase both my happiness quotient and my laundry bill.

A farrier puts shoes horses. A Cobbler makes or repairs shoes. Blacksmiths and Farriers aren't always the same thing...
