Oh dear, what a load of pomp.

I have lurked for a shorter time than the rest of you, may be 8 years, but it didn't take me long to realise Tony is quite a pedant.

If the group was not so precious about OT I would have chipped in earlier re Bill Waugh, I knew a namesake many years agowhen living in Geordie land. His name was pronounced as Billy Yuff. When Eviilyn published his diaries in the 60's I recall a cartoon, son asks father "what did you do in the war?".

So why is Wii pronouncwd Wee ?
What is a Wius ? like so many radii,

Perhaps Wey aye is too Geordie.

But back to the SUBJECT ! !

Why are all these geeks so unwilling to change the subject heading ?
A lurker knows that the real matter will have drifted off after about ten.
