          Sharp is




          anything followed by an "ow" sound when spelled with "ow":

          brow, cow, chow, dhow, how, now, prow, vow, wow




          Surprising is




          anything that is followed by an "oh" sound with "ow":

          blow, crow, flow, glow, know, low, mow, show, slow, snow, stow, throw, tow




          Some can be either:




          bow, row, sow




          So GR is




          surprising, since "grow" is pronounced with "oh"




          The terms:




          Sharp because "ow!" and surprising because "oh!" :)

          GR is




          Surprising




          Reasoning




          For each sharp group, if we add 'ow' to the end, it produces a word which is pronounced with an 'ow' sound. On the other hand, adding 'ow' to the end of a surprising group produces a word with an 'o' sound.

          Is it possible to collect Nectar points via Trainline?

GWR, SWR, LNER and Virgin Trains allow to collect Nectar points and I have already linked a card to my GWR account. A friend suggested me to use Trainline App, because it can search for bus tickets either. I had a look at the application, but could not see any option for Nectar.
