I know I'm obsessed with B7 when every time I see a 'Cynos a' car (where a is the small Greek letter alpha -!!!) I think of Cygnus Alpha.

You should have seen my eyes bug out when I was walking along the beach and look up at the wall next to the new promenade and see DELTA emblazoned across the wall. Seems the council saw fit to write the Greek alphabet along the length of the shiny new walkway.

I'm amazed at how often I see Delta everywhere. There are Delta Growers (fresh green beans etc) the Delta Queen paddle steamer on the Waikato river, Delta Transport etc. It seems a popular letter for some reason. You don't see mu, iota or epsilon used much.

A search of the Auckland on-line white pages turned up 15 Delta businesses. Here's a sample: Delta Hypnotherapy (oh no, do they do adjustments and mind wipes?), Bakehouse, Car Rentals, Dog Training (bit of an insult, that), Educational Supplies, Painters, Software, Valves and Controls, the K-Delta Restaurant, and Delta Quadrant Consultants - they must be Voyager fans.

In summary, there are 44 Alpha businesses, 4 Betas, 8 Gammas, 15 Deltas and 1 Eta (peanuts of course!).
