I have an appointment to see Denzil at the NFU offices in St Clears tomorrow. It's a good job that there is only one Denzil in the office as I don't know his surname. He always refers to himself on the phone as Denzil and his signature is illegible.
If was forced to guess his surname I would plumb for either Phillips, Lewis, Howells or David as West Carmarthenshire (the old administration hundred district of Derllys) has the highest concentration of these surnames in the world. There is a one in five probability it will be one the those four names. If you add the surnames Williams, Thomas and Davies to the list, the probability increases to one in three.
However should by any chance Denzil's great grandfather have stopped off at Milford Haven, from a whaling ship, travelling from the Shetland Islands to the South Atlantic and somehow missed the boat, the probability theory is harpooned in the water.
