You can use ICAO codes, or acronyms, or write in French or Gaelic or medieval Mongolian if you like...just don't expect the rest of us to join in! I mean, maybe this is a wee bit odd, but I had this strange idea that the purpose of PPRune threads was communication. You can talk to yourself without bothering to type. And...there was this thread about LFAT, but not being quite sure if it was Le Touquet without looking it up, I decided not to write about the nice place we stayed in there...in case it was...dunno, Perpignan or something. Now, of course, maybe the instigator of that thread didn't want answers from those lesser beings who don't know ICAO codes because they only use them when they're actually flying, and then they write them down. But I'm not going to clutter my overworked brain cells remembering them, thank you.

So there you are - free speech, your choice...if you want us to reply, say things in a way we can understand; if not, continue to use ICAO codes.
