Say and Play
****
Let's play "Say Then Play". I'll show you a British word (actually, I think these are all Scottish, but I'm not entirely sure).

Fenwicks
You might have been able to get that one. It's quite easy. Try this one, a girl's name:

You won't see that one coming. Well, this one might throw you as well, the name of a a mainly pedestrianised avenue and one of main streets for shopping in Glasgow:
Sauchiehall

Corstorphine
I've saved the best one for last my friends. If you get this, you should think about changing your citizenship. He's the leader of the Liberal Democrat political party:
And here are the answers. Hope you had fun.

See, I could do it, but then someone would think it was a really ghetto name and call her "M'hairy." Ha ha!
