Hi Andrew With regard to the "politically or morally" incorrect words, it refers to certain words used to describe some shops and could offend some people and apologies for the spelling mistake but I transcribed exactly what I read - mistakes and all. "Spellcheck" is of no use in checking as virtually every word appears as incorrectly spelt. With reference to Von Weilligh Street, according to the book "Johannesburg Street Names by Anna Smith", Von Weilligh Street was, according to many authorities named after Gideon Retief Von WIELLIGH, Surveyor-General of the Transvaal from 8 August 1884 to 15 June 1895.
