I seem to remember from the human factors courses that the human brain finds it hard to take in alot of text that is all in block capitals, SO WHY ARE ALL THE PAGES OF NOTAMS WRITTEN IN BLOCK CAPITALS?

We also need a little common sense in what is listed. Heading of to BCN the other week, there was about a page and a half of taxiway and stand closures, all sorts of valid froms and tos, over different dates and periods. For the same day, EMA had the simple note that 'at various times, certain taxiways and stands will be closed. ATC will advise'. That's more like it!
