I really didn't want to get involved with this thread.

Free drink from me at the next GLLUG for the person who spells and
correctly explains the spelling of the major teaching hospital across

been written to the Times etc. etc.

ps. I'm not really sure of the 'correct' answer myself.
I DO know what the place is officially called - it is up there in hugge
letters on the  building. I just enjoy stoking the fires of a good
flame war :-)
