Forgotten How To Spell

[hc4361]

The word which means register of the people of the borough - sounds like burjursee

[Svejk]

bourgeoisie?

[hc4361]

Thanks, but not that word. This is a register that is, or used to be, held in police stations, council houses and libraries for reference.

[Bathsheba]

Electoral roll?

[Maydup]

I think Burgess is the register, so is burgessee your word?

[hc4361]

Thanks, maydup. I don't know where I got the extra syllable from but 'burgess' is the word I'm looking for.

[Maydup]

I only know it because my mate is called Andrew Burgess!

[hc4361]

:D

[sandyRoe]

Any relation to the writer, Anthony?

[Maydup]

No relation Sandy; nor is he the son of a spy!

[Old_Geezer]

Yes, but he would say that wouldn't he. ;-)
