Apropo that fine word outwith, it was being bandied about way back in the early 70s by such fine lexicographers as the late Sammy Hart and Brigadier Rory Walker, and I was able to insert the term in many of my virgin reports in the Corps.

I have found that in organisations where the sweaties cant band together they tend to use English terms rather than PW ones even if there are a few of them about. Its more a case of their environment accepting the usage!

According to Ispeakcrabandpongo "Typically Island Ape Brits," That suits me!

The other day I asked one of my blokes to give me a brief on the current situation in his part of the organisation; he used "...amelioration..." and "...deferral mode...".
