It's that word again!!

Have you been watching the spelling competition on the Beeb? I have, and it has been extremely interesting.
The most amusing part happened at the end tonight - what was the word that sorted out the winner from the runner up? It was the same one that DLG asked how to spell when we worked together xxxx years ago! I came across her missive in some papers this week and of course, just roared with laughter when it came up tonight. This girl should have attended our Primary School - she would know how to spell daksund, dachsund, dachs.....? How the past enters one's life again.
