Honestly folks! Lorna goes away for a week, leaving strict instructions, namely: "Now children , I'm well aware that you can make up all sorts of entertaining acronyms with the letters U K C F M and E so do try to be sensible......" ... and what do you do? Start throwing chalk dusters round the room and putting sharp tacks on people's chairs. We're well aware that Andy Powell started this. When she gets back, we may need to keep him in after class. ;-) On a slightly more sensible note, I think maybe UK LOM, for all it's obvious simplicity, may not be a starter; wouldn't it have copy-right-ish implications to do with claiming that it's our very own "LOM"? I quite like UK APLOM. Then we can go around saying "We're using APLOM" at conferences and things.
