FYI, James is also English :-). I'm sure he understands "very blunt Lancastrian"
in the way it was meant.

But IMHO this is now all a storm in a tea-cup.

James asked nicely, I screwed up by not adding the (C) to
our original text plus we've now got a decent enough name you
came up with Rowland that (hopefully) everyone is happy with
on the Samba side.

Let's add the (C), change the name and continue the
discussions on the team-list to see if we can get to
using the "standard" text.

No more "blunt" language needed :-).
