The NHS letter? If so, I mentally applauded it a few hours ago without knowing it was you.

I'm trying to find the letter and doing four other things at work at the same time- and now they have my email adr. so that they can spam me for life- what page is the letter on?

P.S. That last comment was, of course, made purely for facetious effect and was cheap even by my standards. Your letter was and remains excellent.

Because I prefer to keep a modicum of anonymity online. It's an almost unique name the way it's spelt. At one point if you typed my name into google the third option down gave my home phone number on the google page.

I don't know what the NHS is nor have any idea what you were talking about nor cared very much to find out by the end of it, but other than that, I thought it a lucid and engaging piece.

Ah. Makes much more sense than the Northern Hockey Society, or the Nominal Human-Sack, or Numenorean Hobbit Seamen, or Neapolitan Happiness Solution.

That's not an answer to the what dialect question. I'm just calling you a chav.
