Lynda Snell here.......

Stavros? Damn auto correct- Stavro!

I will impart this to my merry little band at next rehearsal.....there will be some disgruntled faces but I'm the director so that's just the way it goes!

I could easily become power crazed with a white Persian cat a la Ernst Stavros Blofeld.

How educational GN can be.

The few town criers I've heard have all called O,YEY

Nothing wrong with a bit of pedantry...

But,as someone else said, it's panto so pendantry has no place!

Ana is right - 'Oh-yay' - it's Old French for the modern 'écoutez' - 'listen'.

So listen up!

I remember her - a sort of suburban accent that nobody every really had, ever...

Thanks. Will have listen to it one day.

Sorry 'official'

Character on The Archers. Oh yay.

Newish to gn. Who is lynda Snell?? Am I being a bit slow on the uptake?? [Confused]. This not officsli but our local TC sounds like "oh yeh". As its panto you could put your own spin on it

Yes. O Yay.

Same as Notso.

Our Town Crier calls Oyez to rhyme with GoPlay.

It is good to have a chance to get stuck into one of life's great mysteries - I think it is the short "oyez". Perhaos you should ask these chaps: www.ahgtc.org.uk/
