It's certainly one of the council types favourite traits, being unable to spell, or indeed intentionally spelling a childs name in a ridiculous way.
Maybe it's because they can't spell and hence write it as they think it's spelt. Or it's to be different and quirky or whatever.
I tenuously know someone who's daughter is called Cee-Ann, a complicated mess up of Siân, which they must have seen and never heard but then cocked up the spelling!Maybe it's because they can't spell and hence write it as they think it's spelt. Or it's to be different and quirky or whatever.

I worked in Bradford a year or so ago, the litter was unbelievable. People were lobbing it out of the front door of their terrace houses.I refuse to go there for work now. There's the low emission zone so I have to pay for the privilege (Euro 5 van), plus there's the fact insurance fraud is a pass time for many so there's always at least two cash for crash attempts on each visit. No one seems to be able to drive - last time I was there I was following a Prius taxi with two kids on the front passenger seat, woman sat in the back with another three kids stood on the seat next to her waving out of the back window. It sailed through a red light and only narrowly avoided being side swiped by a speeding Golf R. And that's before the customer starts demanding 'special discount price' when the work is done. s

I know Bradford has its own thread, but it really is like the wild west there.I refuse to go there for work now.

t hole. I was there yesterday, going back again this morning.
I enjoy hearing the stories from the guys in the yard, nothing surprises me anymore.
