He claims to be from Argyll :) although now studying at Edinburgh Uni. I saw him duff up Ruxton to win the Oban Open as a 16 year old and thought he would really press on. Progress has been slower than I expected (maybe he concentrated on his school work :?: ), but he seems to be realising his potential now. I think he pronounces "Clement" in the French way.

Do you know how he pronounces Sreeves? I had a quick look for the origin of the name, but found nothing.

Why does he pronounce Clement the French way if he's Scottish

The Oxford Dictionary of English Surnames gives Shreeves as one of many forms of Sheriff.

I'd guess that Sreeves is another version.

Clement Paul Sreeves born Surrey South West. Birth registered Jan 1992. Mother's surname: Rambaud which sounds French.

Is this him? Perhaps we should add an acute accent: Clément.

What happened to the guy with the Dragon theory - might have helped with Howells-Pert :D

It didn't look like an Adams type of opening at all (6. Bc4) either!

Stephen Gordon seems to have a threatening position, looks like a thunderstorm about to break over Susan Lalic.
