What does MIFL mean anyway?

I used to work in a Government department in South Australia (SA) Australia. One of the duties was to collect outstanding debt in both SA and the Northern Territory (NT).

It was mooted at one time to have the two divided -

Collection Unit (SA) and Collection Unit (NT). The acronym was -

CU(SA) and CU(NT). Once this was looked at the penny dropped and the name was never used. This is a true story.

In Australia, participation and interest in everything to do with the government

has been on a downhill slide for a long time so the spin merchants got together

and decided the political parties needed to re-brand themselves to appeal to a

younger audience, this was agreed to so the Liberal party re-branded themselves

to be ''The Young Libs'' the Labor party decided to re-brand themselves as ''The

Young Labs'' the Country party have not replied.

I used to work for a company called GEC-Plessey Telecomms, or GPT.

The French subsidiary was called GP Telecomm because the letters GPT pronounced

in French roughly as Jay Pay Tay sounds like the French phrase meaning "I have farted"
