RR(FS)O Working

[Tom Sutton]

I accept your comments Chris despite your typo (FSO not FRO) but it happens all the time people using different abbreviations for the same thing its a pity we don’t have an official list, like the old drill book, incidentally what is the best abbrev for the new order. Also that internet slang threw me until I found a web site to help and it’s all right for you whipper snappers, think about us poor old OAPs.

I think the best solution is not to abreviate at all.  To answer your question, I use RR(FS)O as there can be no doubt what it stands for if you are reasonably aware of fire safety and it is an abbreviation of the official term.  I'm confused by some of the things that Fire Safety Offices probably think are normal, as Fire Safety Officers would be if I started using insurance jargon.  I wonder what percentage of posts on FireNet have no abbreviations. 

As an experiment, let's try and not post any abbreviations in this thread?  See who messes up first.

"let's" = let us

Dear Allseeing, all wise, keeper of the Universe Retty, Sniff  I dont know what to say. No one has ever  quite liked me before and  I am overcome with emotion. This is the most emotional thing to happen to me since Princess organized a surprise party for my birthday. I need to go and lie down. Ummmmmmmm lots of luv or whatever one says to people who quite like them.

My Dear Friend Colin

You simply must start getting more kip - I note your last message was sent at 4:28am this morning

I think you must be overly exited - Santa doesn't come until the 25th !!!

Now early to bed with you tonight !

My new best friend Retty, Unfortunately, the new legislation brings with it expert witness work that lawyers always want the day before yesterday.

This necessitates working at all hours, with the odd message on firenet for light relief. Drive carefully over xmas. Midland drivers are maniacs even when they are sober.
