Hi there and welcome
Let us be lovely
And let us be kind
Let us be silly and free
It won't make us famous
It won't make us rich
But damn it how happy we'll be!

Re: Hello from Pompey!
sorry dave45, can't honestly say that i can!
All I can say is that it is another name for our city of Portsmouth (and football team, but as i know absolutley nothing about football- i won't dwell on that too much!!)

Re: Hello from Pompey!
The most realistic explanation I can find ...
"Ships entering Portsmouth harbour make an entry in the ships log Pom. P. as a reference to Portsmouth Point (this being too long). Navigational charts also use this abbreviation."
There are others, all of which stretch the imagination a bit far.
