I was flicking through tv channels (yes, I’m old) and stumbled across Alfred Hitchcock Presents: Letter of Credit. In which a banker (who I think from the door nameplate is called Spengler, but to an English ear it *definitely* sounds like Spangler) robs a bank whilst keeping the money in the vault, and frames another employee for it.

Spangler. Spangler. You know, I can think of someone else by that name who’d definitely have given that a try.

So I'm finally listening to the audiobook of going postal (because 1. Stephen Briggs is great and 2. I've never read the book, although I know the plot due to a family who doesn'work care if they spoiler the ENTIRE plot of a book) and whilst listening on hear something shocking.

"Alfred Spangler"

I have NEVER been so confused. Apparently, in the American version of the book, Moist's alias is changed. I DIDN'T EVEN REALISE I HAD BOUGHT THE AMERICAN VERSION, I'M BRITISH FOR HEAVENS SAKE.

Why was that a necessary change? Why?

"Hallowed Be Thy Name" by Iron Maiden, but it's from Albert Spangler's POV.

Kind of anticlimactic when he wakes up in the Patrician's office.
