yes but a little bit harder than spelling the later brand of the same thing.

| OK ............ so could this be László József Bíró, a Hungarian who invented the ballpoint pen that bares his name - a biro - and who sold it to a Frenchman, a Mr Bich who subsequently named it a Bic, the name it carries in France like you say biro in the UK? |

I cheated - I knew the name, but couldn't get the squiggles either!!! So I pasted it from Wiki and it came out with all the accents too. Not quite sure how it should be pronounced in a real Hungarian accent!!
But there again it might not be him ......... could it be a her for once? Frank hasn't yet revealed the latest bit of the puzzle ............ where is he???!!!! |

He is in Hull, or was in Hull at his grandsons 5th birthday bonfire party. Yes its Laslo Biro, obviously Nick got it first and as ususal preferred to give a hint.

Sorry Channel,
Actually...I'm not sure this is a picture of the actual guy. I suspect its somebody else with the same name, who was around at the same time.. I'll have to get back to you on this.
Edit, I thought I'd found an early Glenn Miller picture but it turns out its a different Glenn Miller, Sorry. So I'll post another. _________________

| Actually isn't there a member of the original Glenn Miller family who still plays with the orchestra (the original lot not the cover types ... and yes I'm sure he's very old by now!) |
