DPA - debt payment agency? not sure of this one, maybe someone else can confirm?

Might be wrong of course but I always assumed that DPA was the Data Protection Act.

No see the top of this page FAQ then at bottom of the FAQ there is the unoffical bit sorry I cant do links

An easy way to insert a link is find the page you want, highlight in the box where you type https://www.whatever, click edit, then cut. Next go to the Reply to Thread box on here and click the icon (looks like a globe with a link in front of it) a box will open at the top left of your screen, take your curser to it and click edit then paste, then OK.

For ages I thought that 'LOL' meant 'Lots of Love', so I was well confused for about the first 3 months I was reading MSE posts! And I thought 'AFAIK' stood for 'And Fu** All I Know'.

Oh, and it took me a while to work out what 'MSE' meant as well... Durr.........................

Oh thank you! the 'D' (DH, DS, etc..) has been eluding me for quite some time! :rotfl:

Hope people 'round here don't mind old threads being bumped... I see it as 'recycling', saving storage space, a kind of 'virtual green-ness' if you will :A and I was so chuffed at manipulating the search facility to actually get it to produce relevant results, then finding this gem of a thread that I just had to!:D
