Even the most strictest pedant of the spelling mafia sometimes forgets himself when in a hurry to answer a telephone that insists upon ringing until answered....:oops:

Blessed are the spellcheckers, for they shall give forth lexicological truth.

Meanwhile, St Trillo's brother, St Twrog, has similar connections with the village now named after him - Maentwrog.

Cranwell in Lincolnshire also had a military establishment originally used by the Royal Navy.

NB: I've used the past tense even though the Cranwell location is still operating.

The Avoncroft Museum of Historic Buildings has the last remaining working example of a TXE2 telephone exchange, the first of which was installed at the exchange in Ambergate.

The Museum is at Stoke Heath, near Bromsgrove.
