I don't see how cited reference 3 supports his view on contraception. Did I miss something or has the wrong referenced been cited? Pclindstrom ( talk) 13:46, 14 February 2012 (UTC)
Since I've never been really clear on this, shouldn't the page be moved to "Howard, Baron Florey"? (I don't care either way, & won't be watching. Just asking.) TREKphiler any time you're ready, Uhura 10:49, 7 December 2009 (UTC)

@ Hawkeye7: If that's the case, then why don't you just add IPA to the lead? The pronounciation of "sorry" differs in countries like America and Australia. — VORTEX 3427 ( Talk!) 10:46, 22 June 2023 (UTC)
His surname rhymes with "sorry".Note that a rhyme is not the same as a pronunciation and seems rather weaker. I reckon that the vowel sound will vary depending upon the speaker's accent. I'm British and would use a longer o for Florey than for sorry. Americans might give it more of an a sound as that's common for them. And Australians would be more nasal.

Thanks to Hawkeye7 for his work on this article, which I enjoyed reading this morning. As there's a picture request above, I thought I'd try to fill that and so popped over to Westminster Abbey. I've been inside there several times for free but today it was in tourist mode and it would have cost about £50 for the two of us to get in. This seemed a bit much for a quick photo of something which is easy to view online. So, we moved on to Chinatown and spent the money on some wonton noodle soup instead. I'll try again another day when attending a service – the Sunday organ recitals are good.
If Hawkeye7 has any other pending requests for images in the London area, they should feel free to ask me direct and I'll see what I can do.
