The Obsever sometimes does it as Ossie, and people write in to complain.

Were you hoping that they would have used the photograph were you were actually smiling, instead of the one of you pouting sulkily with PB, in this week's edition?

Re: ossie or ossy?

I take it this is in reference to Oswaldtwistle ? If so I'd assume it'd end in "ie" as opposed to "y" simply due to the spelling.
