Other examples that tell me I am getting old are 'Render' which as an ex builder meant covering a wall with a sand/cement coating but as I am now doing some CAD stuff, means adding colour or mass to a design.
OS, used to mean Ordinance Survey, as in 1" to 1 mile maps. It now signifies the operating system for a computer, ie XP, Vista, Leopard.
Before I started to write this blog I had three other examples but such is my advancing senility I'm buggered if I can remember them. Bit like remembering some smart-arse comment half an hour after it should have been made,,,,,,,,,, only in reverse.
Dennypoos.........If ever I had the plot, I have most certainly mislaid it.
