Thank you for your contribution Maarten, I must admit I have never seen it spelled 'granddad' ever, so made a judgement call.

Having said this , reading The Hobbit to my sons when they were young, I called Gandalf - 'Grandalf' all throughout the book until they were able to read it themselves and corrected me!
