For those who have noticed postings from Jake who says he is from "the
dryer (east) end of Swansea Bay." I shgould point out that this is
dryer, not Dry,
It's this rain that gives us the lush green and the beautifull
beaches that are "The Gower",

When I lived in Newport Mon. in 1964-1966, if I referred to the Gower
Peninsula as The Gower, I was always corrected by the locals.
Was I correct all the time?


Yes you were Martin.

At our camera club as speaker corrected us when we referred to the Scilly
Isles (or The isles of Scilly) as just The Scillies. She later called
the Gower Peninsular. - The Gower - and was promptly brought to book.


The one that annoys me is when the English refer to 'Mount' Snowdon. The
BBC made this error again last week.
Similar error: 'Lake' Windermere etc.
R :-(


You had better educate me.

What's wrong with Mount Snowdon or Lake Windermere?
