when I first joined and though 'lots of love' I am afraid I put it on more than one 'sympathy' thread, I hope they understood it was just that I didn't know what I was on about :(

LOL - imagine that on a sympathy thread. It 's just the kind of faux pas I'd make!

I used to think it was 'lots of love' as well.

It took years to work out AKA as well!

K, when I was a very new member I asked about all the different abbreviations on here and someone very kindly sent me a list. I've just been looking for it to nudge up for you but I can't find it now. Perhaps someone else can give it a nudge?

Dear Al

Hello

I gave a gentle nudge to the post about
abbreviations used on GR.

Hope this helps a bit.

Take care
Very best wishes
