Hi, All.
I just found this on the bay, but I don't understand why he has called It an Old Men's Bums Watch?
Even a search on the net proved useless.
Item number Is below as I could not get the link to work.
Nice enough watch.

My guess is autocorrect of "Numa".
So the watch is old (not the man), it's a men's watch, the brand is Numa.

Hi.
He has just replied, this what I asked him,
"Hi. In your heading you say "Old Men Bums Watch".
Can you please explain what an Old Men Bums Watch is.
Joe.

His reply is.
"Hi
Sorry Mistyped
Thanks for spotting it meant to be “Old Men Numa Watch “
Thanks
Hoss"

When the wife puts anything on the bay I always check spell them for her.
It's always worth checking.
Joe.

Mikrolisk records the wordmark "Numa" as being registered in March 1929 to the Numa Watch SA (Les Fils de Numa Gagnebin) of Tramelan-Dessus, Switzerland.

Phone autocorrect and not proofreading. It has ruined written communication.

I’m surprised at the number of folks who still use ancient T9 abbreviations in their writing. My favorite is “thx”. Often used as “Thx u”. Thanks you. Word. Is it that hard to spell it out?

B and N are next each other, as are S and A. Testing for adjacent letters is easy to do for the smell chucker. (For regular keyboards anyway -- my fingers are too big to type reliably on a phone.)

Very important as 'bumming a cig' means very different things depending on which side of the Pond you are!

Technically, it’s an old predictive text technology. As used above though it generally refers to texting on old dumb phones that just had a regular number pad. You know, where you’d have to push the 2 key three times to get the letter C. A lot of abbreviations came from that because it was such a pain to text that way. No reason to use those awful abbreviations anymore.
