you would find that us who speak English as a first lingo would never use besom when referring to a broomstick. Personally that would come from someone who does not speak English as their first language. Maybe you should try reading Harry Potter my lovely friend JonJon. We can discuss this in more depth should you feel the need to on msn as let's face it, you just can't seem to go on a day without talking to me. Mwah
