    I always thought her name was Rosemary Scanlon yet recently I have seen her reported upon as Rosemary Scallon.
    Did she get married, is it a widespread error what ?
    Anybody got the answer?

    Wasn't her name Rosemary Brown back then in any case? Her husband's name is Damien Scallon.

    Her old EU parliament email address included "scallon". I'd have posted it earlier so Hagar could have mailed and just asked but number one I don't really care and number two it probably doesn't work any more. I should probably put a smiley after the last bit so here you go:
    :D

    I'd laugh if it was actually Rosemary Scallion, it would be funny n the way that Jasper Carrot's name is funny.....

    I think the real question is, why is her name pronounced Dan-ah
    instead of Dane-a, like everyone else with that name.

    I think we should kick her out of the country for being just annoying. Nobody likes her anyway.
