Has anyone else noticed we seem to have a plethora of consonants logged in today? Currently 'tdcxmgdl20', 'wliwzpjv93', ykkioxem86 and zsplgbqg71

What happened to vowels? Are they becoming a neglected species? Should we organise a flag day for them?

    Perhaps everyone's been watching Only Connect, the missing vowels round. It would be interesting to see if anyone could make a proper sentence by adding vowels in. :D

    I've noticed they've been disappearing from the site daily......the site is obviously suffering from 'regular vowel movements'..... :roll: :roll:

    This is reminiscent of the 'Missing Vowels' round on Only Connect (it's differently known in this household :wink: ) Many of my old clientele referred to 'valves and continents' when discussing the 'alphamabet' . Bless 'em. DD

    PS. Prefab? Great comment mate! Did you ever read the Great Vowel Shift thread? Some of us had fun with that but in this day-and-age of the forum it won't be allowed.

    And a warm welcome to bdbghsgz79, chvjkeze92, nrxugzbk35 and uviiykyh86,

    One or two vowels crept in there but not in pronounceable form.
