I THOUGHT you would like to know where I think all these missing Es are going (Guardian Midweek, September 2). My parents live in a village to the north of Bolton named 'Edgworth' (with only one E), but more and more frequently signs are being erected with the misspelling of 'Edgeworth'.

The plague of Es has also spread to maps and vehicle guidance systems!

I always wondered where the extra Es were coming from... now I know.
