Re: ossie or ossy?
The Obsever sometimes does it as Ossie, and people write in to complain.

Di-dums.
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.
