B&F, or BAF, or B+F, or BaF?

Talk about anything but keep it polite and reasonably clean.

How should we abbreviate the Boot &/And/+/and Flogger?

The official name is Boot and Flogger. BAF, not B&F.

In the question for the poll in this thread jdaw1 wrote:Boot & Flogger?
Which is misleading propaganda designed to influence the electorate.

Sorry, could you two please just concentrate on nominating your WOTN? Your choices include N63, T35, G33, G27Cr, 1904 unk, W55... Or maybe you liked the 1842 sherry?

No. We are debating important stuff here. We need a team view. PM me the votes and I will cast them by proxy.

Sorry, this isn't a Robert Mugabe election - one man one vote, and you threw yours away.

BAF wins by proportional representation.

JDAW may have something to say about that. When he's finished drinking his Zinfandel.

We are not voting for the full name of the Boot & Flogger (B&F), nor for the full name of the Boot and Flogger (which would be BaF). This is a vote for the name of the abbreviation, DRT having used “BAF” (presumably Boot And Flogger, would you believe it?).

Oh look, it's changed. This is in no way related to the sharp practice in the tappit hen poll. I assumed that BAF would be a good compromise, as the A could stand for and or ampersand.

Seems to me some of you men at the tasting are multi tasking. Very dangerous! Just do one thing and do it well, so please concentrate on all that lovely port and let all us (voyeurs?) pour over the tasting notes.

Don't pour over the tasting notes, they're written in ink and I won't be able to read them!

I was planning to pour over an iPhone but no fear it won't be connected to a power outlet!
