Quote:And would Jo Blo even have heard of Ofstead and Ofwat I wonder? On the other hand an OfcoN person would only too well aware of all the Ofs out there.
To answer your point I think that yes, anybody who reads papers would probably know about these.
For example, Thames Water recently came under critisism (sp) from Ofwat for all their leakage problems. And I'm always reading about Ofsted inspections. Obviously I've heard of Ofcom and Oftel (no longer exist). In fact I know that Ofcom is short for the Office of Communications, Oftel was Office of Telecommunications and Ofsted is the Office of Education. No idea what Ofwat is though...Office of Water?!?!
I assume there are others but I don't think I've heard of them. Still, not bad for a barman!!
