Actually its Mr Boll ! Mr Weavil lives across the road. Twenty five years ago, I started a band (when duo's were commonplace) and named it 'Boll Weavil' (the spelling to reflect the Beatles and derived from a nickname given to the other band member who was very thin).For some reason we took the name and, impersonating a folk duo, divided it up as surnames. I became Leandros Boll, my partner Gregorious Weavil (can't explain the christian names). In these days where most known words are allocated as email addresses, a crazy but easy to remember mis-spelling is a boon for establishing ones identity ! Anyway, 'Marley' is to boring. My mate Bob has that !

Happy Easter to you Mr B and also David.
Scrooge, as was (my password's failed !)
WHAT?! Well, getting used to Boll Weavil (instead of Scrooge) is going to be a serious challenge!
I mean, why the dickens didn't you at least call yourself 'Marley' or 'Cratchit'?
Anyway, Happy Easter, Mr Weavil!
Happy Easter and good chocolate day, too!
