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.

    • Back garden mowed on Monday, some of it for the first time this year.  Not a lot of interest in this grassland, but hoping for the promised rain this week as it needs it.  We use no tap water in the garden apart from conditioner tap water for the pond when rainwater storage runs out, very early this year. Purple clover, buttercups, rattle and ox eye daisies looking great in the front.  Seeds sown did not germinate due to lack of spring rain.  The meadow will be cut by hand when flowers die back, white clover will be out shortly and cutting the rest back may encourage the purple clover to flower again.  Loads of bees  Fun time is when the grasshoppers appear.  
    • Just found a link for LB Southwark wildlife and ecology. Suggest all those listing in disgust to read some of this.  https://www.southwark.gov.uk/culture-and-sport/parks-and-open-spaces/ecology-and-wildlife
    • Don’t they do it every year?
    • My word, we are in agreement on something!  It's good that there are wildlife areas. I cultivate one too.  But this thread is a bit knee jerk. Time would be better spent lobbying Southwark and other big landowners to create more wildlife havens.
