@gavin Yes, very clever AND quite correct! πŸ˜€ 😎 

...and while we're at it, "Brougham"Β  rhymes withΒ  "chrome,"Β  notΒ  "bro-ham."Β  Β  For decades, I've been correcting folks on this one. πŸ™„Β 

BTW Marty, I assume you'll be getting at least one of these resin STAMP '62 SDVs to compliment your spectacular '62 BeerRitz?Β  πŸ€” 🀨

The Brougham pronunciation eludes most of us.Β  And I am afraid to say, you too, my friend.Β  It's a two-syllable word.Β Β

It seems both may be used: Oxford English Dictionary 1964. Β The reference to Lord Brougham (19 September 1778 – 7 May 1868) is interesting Β ....
