The song observes that some say tom-may-toe while others say tom-art-toe (though I’ve yet to meet anyone who says pot-art-toe for potato). A similar divergence of opinion arises over the name Shrewsbury, with some people pronouncing the ew to rhyme with shoe, others to rhyme with show. You pays your money and you takes your choice, as my old dad used to say. We Welsh don’t have that problem. To us, Shrewsbury is Amwythig. And that’s where Emm and I will be for a day or three this week. We deserve a little break to raise our spirits - a little retail therapy, and somewhere completely different to screw Emma (cue picture). I’ll tell you all about it when we get back, perhaps. Incidentally, our next-door neighbours, who visit Shrewsbury often, said they would phone me so that we can meet up. I have a feeling that my mobile is about to lose its charge. How unfortunate.
