Excellent Mick, and I can put "progenitor" into my vocabulary now!

Edmonton gave its name to the Hudson’s Bay Company’s Edmonton House in Alberta, Canada in 1785 and thence to the settlement that grew up around it, which is now far larger than its progenitor.

The wonderful world of ISO standards Mrs Bobins is trained to audit to various ISO standards..... so I know more than is strictly necessary about them

Do you have a favorite? How about

ISO 30400:2016 Human resource management – Vocabulary

What you can legitimately shout at employees perhaps?

"ISO 30113 Information technology – Gesture-based interfaces across devices and methods."

I think that means - sticking your fingers up at the boss from behind your computer monitor

And..... "ISO 30113-11:2017 Part 11: Single-point gestures for common system"

I think in common parlance, that means 'Flipping the bird'

I always thought ISO standards were the measurement of Tailor's quality?

I can just imagine the joy in the bobins household when the odometer on any of your vehicles ticks over onto a popular ISO standard number. The "significant" milages thread awaits should such a momentous event happen

Mick if the humour in that comment is that ISO translates as "I sew" you should be ashamed of yourself.

You appear to have stitched me up there Neil. I stand RED faced but at least still linking to our progenitor!!

OTTAVIO GIANELLA

Nicked from an Hasselblad email

Ottavio Gianella traveled to Snaefellsnes Peninsula, Iceland with the Hasselblad X1D. Using the HC 4,5/300 with the XH adapter, he captured the iconic little black church of Budir framed by an incredible rainbow.

Pity it is only a screenshot.

Something fishy here,?

Own work

Bit sparce today the postings on the OTCL cant be allowed to happen I'm afraid.

So here's the wraparound advertising blurb from the Manchester Evening News.

Oil companies aren't just oil companies anymore.........

Somewhere in the small print I think I saw that Shell Broadband is catered for by Talk Talk broadband, I have Shell Energy and they keep offering me their broadband but it's no better a deal than I already have with TT.

Shell Energy took over my former energy supplier First Utility only recently and they seem to be more 'on the ball' than FU were.
