Sorry: this is a really trivial post. Do you remember there was a bit of discussion a while back about whether 'Vila' were Slavic nymphs? I'm reading Harry Potter to my daughter, and I was pleased to see that nymphs called 'Veela' are the cheerleaders for the Bulgarian international quidditch team.
'All that mattered in the world was that he kept watching the Veela.'
That's what we say in Birmingham too.
