Probably an Elvis fan!

Arran Copland is surely what the locals call the police station in Brodick.

She's an Aaront Knave.

Teenagers called Aaron seem to pronounce it Arr'n. at least down here in the SW.

[ferneyhoughgeliebte]

Yes - rhyming with "Darren", and usually without the first (or, of course, second) A. That's been the case for many years now (kids would get quite cross if I pronounced it as in the "Moses' brother" fashion.)

A tweet from Skellers ....... Very much looking forward to giving some talks as I float down the Danube later this year @SagaHolidaysUK Just been asked to do so and spent a nanosecond thinking about it before saying yes. @DFMTalent travel.saga.co.uk/cruises/river/…

Think Saga fellow passengers will be far too young for forum members - it'll be a sort of grab a granny Love Island ...

This is quite true. I also know of an Arran (named after the Scottish island) which is a more logical spelling.

Not to be confused, of course, with the group of islands that guard Galway Bay.

I wouldn't Banks on that....

It's fine when it has the double r, I just don't understand parents naming their kids Aaron if they're going to pronounce it Aran/Arran! But then there are so many alternative spellings these days, people don't think of having to spell everything over the phone. I have 2 common forenames which both have always had alternative spellings, plus my uncommon married surname of only 3 letters! I hate giving my name over the phone.

I listened to a significant part of R3’s morning output yesterday, as on a long drive. I’ve not done that for months. Total trash, bits and pieces, but interspersed with trails and other trivia. In the past some people complained about Rob Cowan’s Programme - this was far worse. I will probably try not to repeat the experience.

Succinctly put as I couldn't agree more with you. Not helped by the choice of presenter IMO.
