What's in a name?

Calton is now on the north-west coast of Scotland where free wifi is scarcer than sea eagles hence the lack of posts. Radio and TV reception is none too good either and so he is a bit behind with the latest news however he did hear that schoolgirl Martha's blog NeverSeconds has now raised nearly £100,000 for Mary's Meals and a kitchen in Malawi is going to be named after it. Great news.

Calton also heard that the SNP have been advised to drop the word 'independence' due to negative connotations but apparently it's OK to talk about Scotland being an 'independent nation'. Amazing the difference replacing a couple of letters at the end of a word can make! Perhaps Alex Salmond should drop the 'd' at the end of his name - he is certainly as slippery as a fish when it comes to FMQs. In the same vein Johann could swap an 'o' for an 'e' in her surname as she bemoans Scotland's fate under the SNP. Calton just wishes people would stop trying to insert an 'r' into his first name!
