Throttlebottom sounds a bit rude, and I had to look it up. Its etymology is interesting.

I did not know that about the letter a. How amazing. I'm sure everyone who has just read this fact is running numbers through their heads, as I just did.

Hi Sandra - Throttlebottom sounds a wonderful word - and still is despite the connotation Andrew refers to - it certainly isn't an English term. Number references are strange too - but I guess someone worked the 'A' point out - cheers Hilary
