The fact of the matter is that you need only remove the 'George and' bit to get to the right answer. We were always taught 'it's not George and me! It's George and I!' normally followed by a slap round the lug! politicians and scientists all fall prey to the total misuse of the term 'He and I!' One of his, and my, pet hates is the thing that we all were taught as children and wholly misunderstood! I miss Ron Melville (he said only his mother called him Ronnie) who was my go to person for all things Latin and English. I notice that I have rambled on about words or grammar a lot. Now that I have looked back I find myself in a position where I feel I have something to prove. This in turn made me curious because after posting these things I rarely re-read them.
George said that he had read my blogs and says 'your keep in touch stuff has made for an interesting read and even some recollections of my own'. I had hoped that since he had shown an interest in my blog that he might like to join us but he tells me that he has moved away from the area. George used to live in the house in Quarry Brae designed by my ex partner Jack Berwick. I was amazed, when I got the contact through the DMS, to see his name as the originator. I got an email yesterday! It came from a friend that I worked beside in Grangemouth in the latter half of the 1960s.
