(Standing by for bricks lugged by people who speak the language much, much better than I do.)

Excellent, thanks. I'll dodge incoming bricks too. How would that be pronounced - sort of like "Kwa-rell"? This quarry's at the end of an imaginary branch of the Welsh Highland, so the location's Snowdonia.

Off outside to spray varnish my GPV now - to make amends for hijacking this thread!

All the best,

Andrew.

Sort of, it depends where in Wales you are.

Excellent, thank you both.

Would the spelling of Humphries change in this context? I guess I'm asking if that's a grammatical thing (Like the way I think c's become g's and p's become b's in certain contexts?) - or a historical/political/geographical one? I recognise that the spelling of "Humphries" is possibly an Anglification, but that's the spelling the family in question use...

The wording is to go on some wooden gates that will help disguise the fact that my line ends in a breeze block wall rather than actually continuing into a quarry. To bring it back on topic, my own GPV is to supply powder to this non-existant quarry...

Cheers,

Andrew.

Do you want 'the quarry belonging to Humphrey' or 'the quarry belonging to Humphrey's family' or 'the quarry belonging to a family called Humphreys'?

Whichever of the last two that sounds most poetic please! I think they should all own the place, Mike's a family kinda guy...

And you're quite right, it is Humphreys with a "y" - I just Googled the man in question and found a reference to him being a "grumpy sod", hee hee...
