Who knows it of by heart? Doesn't count if you use it in your job

Jay and I are playing a silly game of who can bore the other the most, I just had to repeat the phonetic alphabet and failed as I couldn't remember a few, in my defence I've never really used it

It was ingrained into me from a very early age. Air cadets took care of that as a youngster and reading pilots licence ground school text finished off

I should learn it properly cause whenever I have to spell our email address I come out with D for donkey and it always makes me feel like I've just called the person I'm talking to a donkey.

When speaking on the phone to people whose first language is not English or indeed a Londoner speaking on the phone to a Northerner obviously not a friend

I do that! Perhaps more people should adopt it. We could start an alternative one...

I recently started needing to use it in work and was surprised I remembered most of it. I did have to check up on the one I couldn't remember when I ended up giving a postcode ending in '2 bravo quadbike'...

Then again when I do say Quebec I often get a "huh?" in reply.

I LOVE those call centre staff whom are lost for the appropriate words and say "Oh, you mean A for apple? S for sugar? W for Whiskey?"

So precious, haha.

I worked in New Look when I was about 16 and we always just made it up, H for Handbag and the likes.

I do like K for Knee, P for Psycho and so on.

They made us learn it when I worked in a call centre years ago and it's stuck it does come in handy but no more handy than just using a word to describe the letter.

I know... for some reason I can never remember and I generally manage to stop myself saying D for dunce and then donkey comes out. I know that it's Delta but when I'm on the spot my brain seems to go off on a tangent!

Learnt it early on as I kept getting people writing down my name or postcode wrong.

Now its ingrained and It actually is quite useful when you are talking to people, they often get quite impressed. I've had at least one lady tell me that it turned her on when I used it whilst out shopping :D

Use it occasionally at work, but more in previous job in I.T. Can remember once reciting a product code to a customer who thought Quebec started with a K.

Also remember a workmate saying he'd told someone to type "M for mother" and they'd typed it all in, not just the M.

God, we worked with some fucking idiots in that job, lol.

I used to have a postal code with a G in it.

I never new the phonetic alphabet off heart so, whenever I had to recite my postcode over the phone ( to, for example, the bank or council ) I used to say "G for Gnome"...

Used to wind people right up, lol!
