Does anyone read the Times birth announcements?

There are some corking names there. Walter appeared yesterday- haven't seen that for a while.
Also the obituaries have some lovely old names- most people seem to be about 93 when they die.
(I obviously have far too much time on my hands)

Yes, read the birth announcements, do the killer sudoku. Chuck the rest in the bin.

My mother phones me up every few days to inform me of any particularly choice names. I don't have the heart to tell her I'm not really interested.
