How do you spell Haringey?
The local council uses Haringey - http://www.haringey.gov.uk/ but the
railways use Harringay and I've just used (probably wrongly) Haringay. |

Railways are well known for having their own dictionary as shown by the way they spell station names- e.g. Whittle sea for whittlesey, Fulbourne for Fulbourn Never rely on railway spelling Ian |

On Sun, 17 Jan 2010 11:17:18 -0000, Ian Bidwell put finger to keyboard
and typed: "Graham Harrison" wrote in message news The local council uses Haringey - http://www.haringey.gov.uk/ but the railways use Harringay and I've just used (probably wrongly) Haringay. Railways are well known for having their own dictionary as shown by the way they spell station names- e.g. Whittle sea for whittlesey, Fulbourne for Fulbourn In many cases, though, that's due to the fact that when the railways were built (and the stations were named) there wasn't a single accepted spelling of many place names.
