 Kia Cee'd - 'Northern' car of the year - Mr Moo
The Northern Group of Motoring Writers has voted the new Kia Cee'd their 'Car of the Year'. Seems like a decent enough car to me, but I wonder whether there is an equivalent Southern Group of Motoring Writers and what their choice would be:-

P.S. No laughing at the surname of the Vice Chairman of NGMW...

It would be German or a Jaguar/Land Rover. No doubt at all.

A former colleague had the same surname. Their are seven entries of that name in our BT phone directory. It's probably more common than you might imagine. Here's the derivation of it. www.surnamedb.com/Surname/Grocock

This is going to sound like a tale but I promise it's not. A local guy I knew in Brazil had the surname "Mycock" which was bad enough. Seemingly he had a British or American grandfather or something. But the really unfortunate part was that his first name was "Jesus"...

Hypocoristic names like Wilcox, Mycock or Adcock are actually very common. The suffix was a diminutive and applied to the surname to denote a young lad. Thus Adcock for example just means the young son of Adam.
