I went to Sainsburys this morning to pick up a few bits. Whilst there a store announcement was made.

"Will Sarah Haddock please return to the Fish counter"

Made me giggle  ;D ;D

Yes, I think we've done it before. And it's a regular topic in New Scientist.

There are actually a lot of Dr De'Aths in the UK (in various disciplines). There's probably one in your phonebook!

There's an academic called Patrick Devine-Wright. I've always thought it was a great shame that he wasn't a Jacobean historian.

Roger, that's only available to subscribers, and i don't wish to register with the FT, so could you just let us know? :)

Meanwhile, leafing through a 1934 edition of The Clarion last night, as you do, I noticed a photo of an MP who I pray was not appropriately named.

It was the Labour MP for Broxtowe, Seymour Cocks! :o

Curious.  It worked for me earlier today and now doesn't, but the chap in question is called James Blitz.
