See, I've finally got the "United" gag.

That's typical bloody North, that is. Nicking our names for sites of gallows, then moaning that we don't know they done it. [/blustertocoverupslightembarrassment]

Eth is the OE letter representing the "th" sound.

Anagram of "sweetheart" minus ETH gives "whereas".

I could probably have done the subtraction in a cleaner way, but I liked the "letter isn't delivered" pun.
