Thanks Brian,
Perhaps you can solve a couple of mysteries that have been causing me much loss of sleep.....
Why is a French Horn called a French Horn and not a Cor Francais? and why is a Cor Anglais called a Cor Anglais and not an English Horn??????
Why do our feet smell and our nose runs??? Shouldn't be the other way round????
