Thanks everyone for your help. I must admit I haven't heard of any of them here but maybe that's because this is the first board I've ever been on. Were you using these abbreviations before you started on the web?

I know they have a lot of abbreviations for mobile phones, but not owning one (must be unique) have not caught up with that 'lingo' either.

They say you should learn something every day , so I'm OK for today!!
