In reply to BrianR: Nice one Debs.

UKC - can you stop using F8a as this generally is used to denote Font 8a. 8a means 8a

Well done Debbie!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Bloody ace and you deserve it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

In reply to Graeme Alderson: Hi Graeme,

Our house style is to use the UK grade without a prefix - E7 6c.

For French grades we use - F6c.

And for Font grades we use - Font 6C, although I keep accidentally lapsing in to V grades, as well, they seem easier to understand to me.

The reason for not just using French grades without a prefix is to try and avoid confusion between the UK technical grade and a French grade. Someone as experienced as yourself can tell which is which just from the context of a report, but many people can't.

This I think has been working quite well for us and we have been doing it for several years.

So suck it up!

Jack


And congrats to Debbie - good effort!
