Peter & Ina -

Again a long time since this thread started, (I am still trying to clear a
vast e-backlog).

On seeing Peter's post I could not help but think of a very relevant
illustration of this point; the surname of the sitting Dean of St. Paul's is
Moses.

Yours Aye Andrew Sellon East Anglia
Let the Dean and Canons lay their heads together and the thing will be done.
Rev. Sydney Smith 1771-1854, Canon of St. Paul's. (On a proposal to surround
St Paul's with a wooden pavement).
