First ones I encountered were on the back of envelopes from girlfriends: SWALK sealed with a loving kiss or: NORWICH nickers off ready when I come home, and many more.


According to an episode in the Likely Lads PHILADELPHIA is one, but I never heard the explaination.


Overall they are irritating ruddy things.

Medicine used to be full of them in the days before access to information: In particular, to describe the appearance of someone who might not have any decernable syndrome but who didn't quite look right somehow, from FLK (funny looking kid) to NFN (normal for Norwich). But then the day came when patients were allowed to see their notes, and "the man" said that doctors were just being rude. A sad day indeed...

Cant bear them generally


You know once we were flying in the south pacific and on a small island in the middle of nowhere someone had written S O S in stones, we flew round to take another look at this vandalism & some joker was jumping up & down waving pointing to his work


"Bloody idiot, look at him trying to get our attention " so we pretended we weren't looking and flew off again. If he had the time to do that, then take the time to write something out properly. I really hate acronyms you know.

    • Farage has done nothing but divide and diminish this country, all in the name of his ego and his bank balance. Brexit has made us poorer and has damaged our influence in the world. He supported Trump who is directly threatening our interests and he supported Liz Truss' disastrous budget. He has done his best to ensure our country's decline and now people too proud to admit their mistakes and the deleterious impact of UKIP / The Brexit party / Reform Ltd are again voting for him to finish the job / nail down the coffin lid. Yes, he is a plastic patriot.
    • You clearly don’t know Peckham Rye station there are lifts but they’re not available to the public. Actually, they were  briefly made available when the art exhibition was on.  Priorites again. 
    • I'm not going to claim 2 old men arguing on line ISN't boring - but it's on a thread about the viability of(or otherwise) of Reform winning power in this country. If they do take power, it will because people like jazzer get away with making claims like they do without challenge I'm challenging him, and like most reform voters, he starts crying I'm twisting his words? do YOU think I'm twisting his words? if so, how? Because it's important if Reform do win power it won't be boring, it will be very bad for the country and I will know who to blame
    • I think it's a false dichotomy. Lift maintenance is a priority and I doubt the delays in fixing them is to do with lack of funding. Whether they go ahead with this scheme of not, will make zero difference to how lift maintenance is being managed. There seems to be general opposition to any form of change across this forum.
