I'm from Surrey and would use "settle". -- John Hall "Banking was conceived in iniquity and born in sin" Sir Josiah Stamp, a former president of the Bank of England It used to "settle" when I lived in Essex but I am now in Bristol where it "pitches" - on the rare occasions we get any snow that is.

Quoting from message posted on 24 Feb 2005 by John Hall I would like to add: In article , Anne Burgess writes: Are the differences regional?

You must come from a grammatical neck of the woods, then.  Same at "home" (E.Yorks) and here in N.Wales - but also "stick" and "settle" with occasional "hold". I'm with Elaine on that one, but not exclusively around here. -- Rob Overfield Hull http://www.astrosport02.karoo.net/YorkshireWeather/ |
