A mate at uni told me
There was a Scouse Beefeater at the tower who would feed the ravens tidbits at lunchtime.
After a while, one of the ravens started going up to kids and scaring them by saying "do you want some?" in a course Scouse accent, imitating what the Beefeater had said to it.
I really hope this was true.

Nice story, it would be great if it was true.
But where do you stand on the tid- vs. tit- bit debate?

I've always said tit-bit
But spellcheck corrects so I thought I was wrong.

Bill Bryson said it was 19th century Americans who changed the 't' for a 'd' for obvious modesty reasons.
Tit tit tit tit tit.
That'll teach 'em, bloody prudes.
