Thanks Dee!

My head was spinning on some of those brain twisters and I'm a native
Englishman! No wonder America simplified the spellings of some words. The
rules of British English are quirky, to say the least.

I've created one more entry for the list, with even more variations:

'We've been through enough paperwork on the trough under the bough,'
said the Borough Council worker, before picking up his dough.

Apologies to Doriane and anyone else with a headache!

Neil
