I like how you guys are all looking after me
As an ex-Florida native, this IS in fact a tempting opportunity. However, as a rather boring risk management person, getting into the sea-side bar business is far too exciting for me.
As far as pronounciation, I would prefer "Case as in Solid Case or Interesting Case", rather than 'Basket Case', but aside from that detail you are right Ed. 'Case' is in fact how I spelled my name when living in the US, or people would call me "seas" as many of you do until now.
Since we are on the topic of totally useless trivia, did you know that in the Northeastern part of the US, in the very early days a lot of Dutch people settled? And that the two most common Dutch guys' names are "Jan" and "Cees" (also spelled "Kees")? Thus, when referring to people from that area, others would say: "Oh, those are all Jan Kees". This then became, in fonetic spelling, "Yankees".
Or so I've heard. Also two parts of New York are named after Dutch cities: Haarlem (Harlem) and Breukelen (Brooklyn). This is because the land that New York sits on was once owned by The Netherlands. We traded it for a South American country now named Surinam.
