    The worst one was the school where the missus works when they became an academy.

    The Westlands Academy Trust.

    No one realised until I asked the missus why she was working for a bunch of ****?

    It was quickly changed.

    torsoinalake – I think the OP was cunningly referring to an acronym that was out of place in the current time.

    torsoinalake has it.

    Slightly incongruous thread title where one word is ‘genius’ and the other a mis-spelling 🙄

    Similar to the above.. I work for a company whose name begins with a C.

    We have a C.. Women in I.T. initiative.

    I said they would prefer to be called Ladies, but they wouldn’t have it 🙁

    I used to work for a company whose initials were “DCL.” I tried and failed to prevent my department being formally named “IT Services.” So, yes, we were DCLITS.

    They used to be BAPS, but everyone took the piss/thought they were taking the piss so they added the extra ‘aesthetic’
