Hi Fly Away!
We're up in the valleys...everyone round by us seems to say Mam. It would be a shame if it disappeared.
How's everything with you? Any news with the house?

Re: Mom/Mum
I used to use Mom because I'm from Canada and that's the way it's spelled there. I now use Mum because I live in Australia and that's the way it's spelled here.
