Hello

[Charlie Chapel]

Hello, My name is Richard, I live in Oxfordshire. Have kept bees for a few years, my father and grandfather were beekeepers first in Hampshire then in Oxon. Have a question which will seem silly, what does P M mean in reply to a post, sorry but I am an old git with negligible computer skills.

Hello and welcome.
PM stands for private message, it allows you to abuse other members without anyone else knowing.

Thanks Oscarmonster

Welcome aboard!
Lots of abbreviations and acronyms but at least you have all that beekeeping experience.

 

[Charlie Chapel]

Thanks for the welcome Grumpy Bunny, no matter how much experience the bees always find some way to perplex me.

PM means prime minister

It's good to know that the bees keep the old hands guessing too.

Hello, and welcome - all insane accepted without references! There is a thread about all the different abbreviations (is there an abbreviation of abbreviation?)...

Makes a good read...especially some of the less standard ones
