Whilst I admire DLR's marketing efforts (which put LUL's to shame), I can't help but be amazed that, after almost (or just over) a year, DLR's 'sub-site', www.visitdocklands.com STILL has the appallingly mis-spelled banner headline, thus: Panormaic views form the train... instead of 'Panoramic views from the train'. Two juxtapositions in one sentence, on a banner graphic (including the very first word), right at the top of the page. Not impressed! |

Given the thread topic, am I alone in noticing the irony inherent in the OP's wrongly-spelled username? Apologies, of course, if this is done deliberately.

It is deliberate, because it's a pun, not the literal phrase, "thirst quencher".
Anyone from within LUL care to shed light on it, or shall I?
Besides, is "thc" spelled correctly?

Thank you for partly clarifying (and cheers for editing your original response, which I'm sure might have been a little more *ahem* direct - that's why I apologised in advance in case of misunderstanding!) I'd be grateful for a full explanation if you don't mind as, since I'm not part of the LUL family/clique, what is now an obvious in-joke flies straight over my head. Besides, is "thc" spelled correctly? You might want to argue that an 'i' and a 'k' are missing ;D but these are my initials, so 'yes' is the answer. THC |

It's a reference to the LUL Standard, "Contract QUENSH Conditions", where QUENSH standards for QUality, ENvironmental, Safety & Health. It lays down how contractors must satisfy their capabilities in those areas.

The mis-spelt banner doesn't appear to be on that sub-site any more - at least, I can't find it on there!

Indeed - it has been corrected at last!
