We also came up with a phonetic alphabet for use when talking to people we didn't like - Asshole, Buttface, Cock, etc. And there were tales of amusing radio traffic heard over the LMR - "one newspaper fire, fully involved, extinguishing with size 9 boot" - we heard of a few rubbish bin fires where the crew involved was "at work with a bucket" on Guy Fawkes night.
