Re: godmother godfather....

Nice bit of editing there, Cricketman. As you can see, I made a point of not singling JLFS out as my rant was going off topic and it would have been unfair of me to bundle him in to a related rant.

Re: godmother godfather.....

A vast sweeping statement. Do they? Do all Spaniards refer to their godparents by title? Really?? Or is it just something you have seen in your circle?

Ahhhh, but it gets diluted eventually. For example, Mrs F has no mention of her maternal grandmother's name, and if we were to have children her mother's name would disappear too. Yet her father's...

'Nothing lasts forever' can have both an optimistic and...
