<HTML>Replying to Arlene, and to the assertion that only the Welsh 'real whackaloons and the patriotic' maintain two Ffs in names, can I but remind you that the wife of our esteemed former leader of the Conservative Party is named Ffion. Now she is patriotic - I knew her once but that was in another country - but a whackaloon she is not. And Ffion is still a popular Welsh girl's name.
Also, and as a good cymraes (Welsh woman) I hate to admit it, the Ff is not solely a Welsh attribute - there are a number of English surnames which begin Ff , including Ffoulkes, Ffoolkes, etc.
Love the book!
