Ah. As a from-Scotia SarfLondoner, one knew it as Ballum
until a pseudo-yank re-pronounced it. Thanks for identifying
the clown as Peter Sellers. Now a longtime NorfLondoner with
periodic trips to Balham by fairy-lightless tube, one only
thinks of it as Bayal-hayum.

Thanks also for a break from 35 alarming discussions of Chris
Newman's plight. Seems that (self apart) only swotty computer
scientists can use RiscOS. So far, the few (Windows-originating)
troubles with this Shuttle and its predecessor have been sorted
from up North by Andrew. Never heard of the A-to-Z of drives,
partitions, filetype/extension problems, etcetc. A swearword
user is not a swearword programmer, swearit.
