An acronym too far
In the Western Mail this morning Kirsty Buchanan tells us:
The eminently sensible Alan Johnson has put his foot down on Downing Street's proposed re-branding of the Department of Trade and Industry.
This is not just about the unnecessary expense, but also because the proposed new name has already become a titter-fest for the sort of grown men who still find rude words funny.
You see the Department of Productivity, Energy and Industry could - at a real stretch - be reduced to the acronym "penis".
I have to admit that I had completely missed this rather obscure acronym. I really must get out more.

I think Alan Johnson must've been concerned that he would be PENIS: Productivity, ENergy and Industry Secretary.
