Years ago in a Devon village, I was pushing my daughter in her push chair when a wheel fell off. There was a motor garage there and feeling a bit foolish I took the chair in there. No problem. 'Come back in an hour.' they said. Sure enough, on our return, there was the chair with its wheel...

I have always argued that the 'Me' is actually a vernacular contraction of 'Myself' Nowadays, English in the UK is fairly standard thanks to TV, but not so long ago it varied throughout the country. viz: Are you not going to? Ban't you going? B'aint you going. And then the Norfolk language has...

I fear that this is just the start as opposing groups take their sides. I believe in democracy, and if the majority of Spaniards wish to be right wing, so be it and I support their right to be so. It is disappointing to see the return of Franco methods to what should be a mature, civilised...
