There is a football commentator on one of the tv channels here who can’t quite say his Rs and it’s very sweet indeed – he was excited about a goal mouth incident this week and exclaimed ‘wite in fwont of the wefewee!’ and it reminded me of my nephew Jason when he was a kid and had a similar problem with his Rs (though now, at 27, he does not anymore). We would say all sorts to him to tease him and often (gently) called him a creep just to hear him say ‘i an NOT a cweep!’ Happy times. His favourite colour was a fire engine ‘WED’. and for what it’s worth one of the (now married with children) men from our street is still referred to by his childhood nickname which was and still is Creep (though not cweep, in this instance).
