I was named after my father's favourite dog 'Judy' AND the amount of people who can't pronounce 'th' so I am often called Judiff that's why I stick to Judy.

It's a very commonly made mistake<br />It's just that my basic blog material is very female in tone and I kind of expect people to pick up on that.<br />That doesn't mean I'm about to come over all fluffy and pink.

(for those, and there are some, who don't know, men who have lost there wives are widowers).<br />Now I'm having to explain that too......I rest my case!Ray Barneshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09209429097744326143noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7948117492116997244.post-22652756147134128132011-05-30T19:21:09.746+01:002011-05-30T19:21:09.746+01:00I was named Penny.
