I think it's a reference to Mr Doovde, who always pronounces acronyms as if they were words - so PC World is Puk World... PS3 is Pussthree... LCD TV is Lukede Tuv... and so on!

No, it isn't.

Had you read all of Tumble's posts (and I wouldn't recommend it), you would know its one of those peculiarities about him.

Besides, he would call Fonejacker "tommy rot", so its unlikely he would have referenced that at all. If its not on C-Beebies, he don't want to know.

I'm aghast he didn't refer to it as I5 or G1.

I see some people still can't get their head round Tumble Tower's very simple coding system.

Tumble Tower posted:
My code for ITV1 is I1 , regardless of the franchise holder brodcasting at the said time of day (GMTV 6am to 9:25am; then ITV Plc / SMG / UTV /Channel the rest of the day). There isn't a separate code for GMTV.

That's always been the case, even back in the 1986 when I first coined the code I1. Take for example in the south region, I1 referred to ITV (what's now ITV1), regardless of time of day - TV-am breakfast time, TVS the rest of the day. Similarly London: TV-am breakfast time, then Thames or LWT, but the code remained I1 regardless.


I trust this will be the end of the matter.

Well that explains it. Clearly I need to pay more attention to Tumbler's posts. Wink
