I'm putting the case forward for BMXen, as said devices come from the same country as the VAX computer, for which the plural is VAXen.

I had to train people to send internal email on a VAX in my first job. Tell that to your modern kids and they'd be looking quizzically at the hoover.

As you were.

Does The Claud actually own these two bikes?

The Scottish answer would be, 'aye, Claudiuses' or should that be 'Claudiusi?'

Why doesn't she just get a proper bike?

edit: actually I've seen her on a proper bike - and she looked like a very cyclist indeed.

I am an improper cyclist sometimes.

I try to be improper at all times, cyclist or otherwise.

Good God! £1.69 for a steak and kidney pie. £1.20 in Morrisons.

I've just discovered I work for the grammar police. Today I received an email from my manager saying spelling mistakes or bad grammar in reports could lead to disciplinary action. I don't know whether to laugh or call his bluff.

That's Cheshire for you, grammar and pie prices.

Must have been in Halford's.

Oh I don't need to. It ends "(this) could result in disciplinary action to be taken"

BicycleMotorCrossBicycle is what you mean?
Surely in anticipation os some idiot having more than one it should be MCB then we just have to nail down the apostrophe.

Obviously not, you are referring to a BMXtrium.

A BMXtrium sounds like a decently large place to keep ones collection of MCBs- They'd probably do a better job in an electrical distribution board though...
