Of course, the proper spelling is Higginbottom, but in Yorkshire, as in many areas of Great Britain, it is common, in everyday speech, to ignore the aitch, thus 'lgginbottom, 'Argreaves, 'Ancock Ereford, 'Ampstead 'Eath and 'Ap 'Azard. This has given me a little problem in the text. So not wishing to lard the pages with apostrophes and inverted commas Igginbottom always appears as just that, with no other markings. It's called Griffin's Law of Grammar and Punctuation. So sue me! | Of course, the proper spelling is Higginbottom, but in Yorkshire, as in many areas of Great Britain, it is common, in everyday speech, to ignore the aitch, thus 'lgginbottom, 'Argreaves, 'Ancock Ereford, 'Ampstead 'Eath and 'Ap 'Azard.
