I've just noticed that the BBC Pronunciation Unit contains a personage by the name of Catherine Sangster. Anyone you know?

Fair enough. I've never come across a Sangster in RL, so seeing two of you in the BBC struck me as somewhat odd.

There's the racehorse owner (Robert) and his brother the football pools man (Vernon), the film director and scriptwriter of all those Hammer horrors (Jimmy), the child actor from Love Actually (Thomas) and the member of a band called the Young Fresh Fellows... none of whom are related to me.

There's also a Jim who played bass for the band Black in the mid-1980s, who's my cousin. smiley - smiley
