[KEN ADAMS]

I knew an American once called Jon (nice guy), but am unfamiliar with its use in 
UK.

Anyway, translation:

Don't forget that those crazy English think "Jno" is a suitable nickname
for "John."

I assume you meant "Jon." But I don't know anyone who thinks it's a nickname for 
"John," it's short for "Jonathan." Or even, nowadays for some reason, sometimes 
for "Jonathon" (which makes me think of a telethon for someone named Jonathan 
who's got some unfortunate disease).
