My creativity is lacking. But there would be no need to redact your examples.Naff!ng, flam!ng, sodd!ng for starters. Test your creativity.
* is usually zero or more, not one or more, in regexp terms. I thought I'd put 4, but see now it's only 3. Oh well, that's the usual muck-up then.

Not yet, but it's very dull. Already been out this morning.Is it raining at your respective locations? If not you should get out more!
It were always raining in LeicesterIs it raining at your respective locations?
Eh?It were always raining in Leicester
I'd never heard of the word. Unfortunately all the reputable online dictionaries are behind a pay wall or rely on me to disable the ad-blocker.

How is it relevant anyway, when EEPhil is in the environs of NotNum?
Actually, I've just remembered two other occasions (Haymarket Theatre and De Monfort Hall), both 45+ years ago.I've rarely been to Leicester*
The other side of the Trent.Num - where's that?
