And how many of the youth today remember the proper phonetic alphabet before it became NATOised (if that is a word).

A for 'orses
B for Dinner
C for Miles
D for Kate
E for Brick
F for Vessence
G for B
H for It in the Morning
I for The Engine
J for Oranges
K for Teria
L for Leather
M for Caemia
N for Cer
O for The wings of a dove
P for Relief
Q for Hours
R for Askey (or Daley for the younger)
S for Ranzen
T for Two
U for Mism
V for Espania
W for Quits
X for Breakfast
Y for you call my dog to F*** O** when hees name is pedro?
(or Y for Biscuit)
Z for Zodiac (an American Zee I'm afraid).


It passes many boring hours on intercom: We are diverted to QRA; I spell Hours, Askey, 'orses.

Hmm - no traditions, it seems!

The original 'A for 'orses, B for mutton, C for miles, D fferential' stemmed from WW2 and had quite a few differences.

The students on the Jetstream course at Scargill International invented a 'Jamaican' phonetic alphabet whilst I was there doing my pre-VC10 MER. So an ADF was an 'Anger Dreadlock F**kyou', an NDB was a 'No$hit Dreadlock Babylon' and an ILS was an 'I-and-I Limbo Spliff'..... Probably an offence in these PC times, but most amusing back then.
