is good, he should find the sight that gives times around the world, then
he would know it is Wednesday in Australia, but then being behind the times,
what is new for him?

Well, if you're not allowed to snear on Tuesdays, can you snear on other
days and only sneer on Tuesdays?

Dear Adrian ~
Please come down off your high horse. It gets lonely up there.
I believe the Genuki list is common and current usage, that is why I
recommended it to John Ravilious. But it appears you are saying the
Genuki list is wrong? If so, tell us why. We'd very much like to hear
your side of it.
By the way, no snearing is allowed on the newsgroup on Tuesdays. If
you wish to snear at a fellow poster, you'll have to wait to post on
Wednesday.
Your friend, Douglas (Salt Lake City, UT)

Complete Peerage uses "co. Warwick," but GENUKI uses "Warwickshire."
Neither uses "co. Warwicks."
I've been advised by British members of the newsgroup that using "co."
before the name of a county as done by C.P. is considered outdated,
with the possible exception of Durham. The GENUKI list reflects that
trend.
The GENUKI list of English counties can be found on the following

Third, in one place, you refer to "co. Warwicks." This should
either
be "co. Warwick" or "Warwickshire." For a list of the preferred
county designations, e.g., Warwickshire, see the GENUKI list at the
following website:
Warwicks. is a perfectly good and recognised abbreviation, in fact
most
of
the shire counties can be abbreviated with an "s", although Hampshire
becomes
Hants (as with Northampton), Oxfordshire is Oxon.
