Greetings, fellow dialists,
Our local comprehensive school, realising that teenagers are 
congenitally unable to get up in the morning, has altered school hours 
from 9 till 4 to the later time of 10 till 5. A small point in Frank 
King's favour?

Oh, and by the way, I have been rebuked for spelling "dialist" in this 
way instead of "diallist". In my defence, the Shorter Oxford Dictionary 
offers only "dialist". Similarly we have "royalist", "federalist", 
"herbalist", "socialist", even "evangelist", and many more. Of course, 
"dialling" is good UK usage. (I don't know what Noah Webster has to say 
on the subject).
