+PopUpPirate Posted April 10, 2007 Share Posted April 10, 2007 I can't remember the phonetic alphabet and have no intention of learning it, so instead I tend to make up silly words on the fly, for instance if giving out my postcode to another cachers I'll say "PR6 - that's P for.... erm.... pirates and R for rabbit". Decided therefore that it's time for a caching-related phonetic alphabet So here's for starters... Ammo Box Cache ....tbc! Quote Link to comment

Edgemaster Posted April 11, 2007 Share Posted April 11, 2007 Sorry to be a killjoy, Isn't the point of the phonetic alphabet to use fairly unusual and unique words that will not be confused in a normal sentence? To muggles, this would be quite a good phonetic alphabet, but not to cachers! Quote Link to comment
