RedM Posted September 18, 2017 Report Share Posted September 18, 2017 22 minutes ago, Robbored said: Acronyms like 18/12, 24/7, 1/7 are commonly used in the NHS patient files. That's where I first came across them. I (wrongly it seems) assumed that everyone knew what they meant. So in response to your 'why is a fan responding to this' can I ask why you are responding to me like a NHS patient? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leveller Posted September 18, 2017 Report Share Posted September 18, 2017 24/7 means "all the time" - i.e. 24 hours a day and seven days a week. 18/12 has no obvious correlation to this and no obvious meaning whatever. Oh, and I cant hear anything much in the Lansdown either! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

London expats Posted September 18, 2017 Report Share Posted September 18, 2017 South stand was clear but way too loud. It's impossible to have a pre match conversation. Seems strange can't have seats in a concourse due to H/S but a possible emergency tannoy that doesn't work is ok surely this should be fixed as a matter of urgency. Mr Kelly all you need to do tomorrow night is stand in the crowd and listen for yourself ? Not wait for reports from tape recorders. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xiled Posted September 18, 2017 Report Share Posted September 18, 2017 I was assuming that 1812 was when Robbored was born so he was basically saying all his life. Bit unfair really as I'm sure we didn't have a PA system during the club's Victorian years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robbored Posted September 18, 2017 Report Share Posted September 18, 2017 For all you unfamiliar with numerical acronyms- The second number - say.......12 or 7 denotes the period of time. 12 being a year because of 12 months. 7 denotes a week because of 7 days. So.......18/12 is 18 months and 3/7 is three days. So.......what does 4/52 mean? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
