Just about still a yes to that question. It has also been suggested 
that I should know latin, but I don't. I have watched Morse, which 
surely counts for something ;)

I am not really sure that this place counts as modern!


Rita: <<<You answered Amy's pronunciation question, but no one 
answered mine! Which was British pronunciation of the surnames 
Mandeville and Maskelyne. Here we pronounce Mandeville as it is 
written, but I became suspicious when I read that Featherstonehaugh 
is pronounced Fanshaw.>>>

Sorry about not answering this, but the simple answer is that I am 
not aware of any difference in pronunciation to the obvious one of 
saying what you see.
