. ... [1] having first encountered this interesting character in print, I wondered for the longest time whether his name should be pronounced "yerks" (to rhyme with jerks) or "yerkees" (to rhyme with turkeys). I have since been told be someone I am prepared to trust in the matter that the second option is the correct one. I read Rails Through the Clay a few weeks ago - a fascinating read although not one to be undertaken lightly or when you don't have a lot of time on your hands. They were fairly clear that the chap in question was 'turkeys' rather than 'jerks'! James |
