Manchester FACTS

[Prestwich_Blue]

No comma needed at all actually. You could use comma INSTEAD of the preposition (Sorry Mr. Fetlocks, this is funny) and you would also use a comma in front of the preposition if it was a long sentence and the phrases either side of could stand as an independent sentence. However "Sorry Mr. Fetlocks.." is not an independent sentence therefore no comma.

Not your day is it mate?

In what way is "Sorry Mr Fetlocks" not an independent sentence?
An independent sentence is a self-contained,complete thought in grammatical terms.
It must contain a noun or noun-phrase and a predicate,that is a verb or adjective that expresses the action or state of being of the subject.
"Mr Fetlocks" in this case is the noun,as a proper name and "Sorry" the predicate.
Therefore the comma after "Fetlocks" is valid.

Absolutely not. To use an adjective like "sorry" as a predicate adjective the subject has to be connected to it by copula (linking verb). You can't substitute the adjective for the verb. Therefore you would be correct if the sentence said "Mr. Fetlocks is sorry, but..."

Look on the bright side. You've learned some Physics, History and English grammar today.

My paternal great great great grandfather from Manchester was on the first boat to America. He captured the market in indigestion tablets, apparently he was one of the early setlers!!!
