Abbreviations
Wondering how some or most of us get on trying to work out some of the abbreviations that come through.
examples---FFB ? five fathom bank=had me scratching head for while
Pengos = even worse,took looong time to work out
Bunno =lived there for 20yrs and never heard it called that
Lano =have fished from there,same as Bunbury
Dunno=lived there for 2 yrs,heard it called Dunsy never Dunno
YTK + KGs =lots of scratching head.
Rocko=thought it was an Italian mate for a while
I don't know if its me or whatever but its not a lot of extra effort typing the whole word to get your message across than trying to save on a few keystrokes on the keyboard.
Admittedly there are some places that the abbreviations have been out for donkeys years,Busso,Freo and Gero,they are all I can think of at the moment[ATM][looked for autoteller]The use of the spellchecker wouldn't go astray at times.
There,got it off my chest!!Son [deepwater] may be right when he calls me a grumpy old fart.

bump
Think this is worthy of bumping back up the top for anyone that hasn't seen it. I've spoken to a fair few people that ask, whats FFB and a few of the others listed. Just something to consider when wanting an answer to a question, just that not every one is local to the area, but may be able to offer help as they've fished it but aren't sure what you are referring to.
Cheers,
