Title: WECA, or WEMCA? Post by: Red Squirrel on October 03, 2023, 15:40:52 Dan Norris has made it clear that he doesn't like people calling the West of England Combined Authority 'WECA'. The trouble is that you can't stop people calling things what they want to call them - I'm sure Mr Dyson doesn't like people referring to his hoovers as - well, hoovers, and Google would really prefer you not to google things as that damages their right to the trademark.
Anyway, I can't help but notice that WECA is now referring to itself as the West of England Mayoral Combined Authority. So presumably, instead of not referring to it as WECA, we must not refer to it as WEMCA..? Title: Re: WECA, or WEMCA?

(CUBA is already used in local government for some inter authority work) Title: Re: WECA, or WEMCA?

They could have based it on the - perhaps better known - abbreviation WoE, in which case it would have gone from bad ("woker") to worse ...
