Hi Barry, Mostly, it rains in Manchester, and we're having our July share of rain, in a matter of hours at the moment. It's started on August's share as well, I think. Manchester is, of course, hosting the Commonwealth games, which would only be on-topic if there was a Tetley/Tetlow connection! <grin> There's a Theresa Tetteh (from Ghana) competing in the Badminton, but apart from that, no Tetleys or Tetlows that I can find. Unless, of course, there's someone who's related to a Tetley/Tetlow/Titley etc.... Keep digging and we'll get there! At the moment the Aussies are winning. The English are second, with the Canadians right behind. Let me see, where are the New Zealand lot....... . . . Are yes, here they are....! Just above Scotland and below Wales! A geographical impossibility! And the Ghanaians... They're at the bottom of the medal table, jointly with St Lucia, where an Alan Tetley was born in 1890. (or was that St Kitts?) <grin> Cheers Rich (handing over the baton....) Barry Tetley wrote: > My wife asked the other day, is something happening at Manchester? It > seems to be in the news a lot!
