I didn't think I'd ever need "epicaracy"again, but I find that the news that NCP (National Car Parks) is going bust has brought on a sudden attack. :smile:
No idea why - they have never done me any direct harm - just don't like them.

Shouldn't it be spelt epicaricacy? That clever google AI says it's: Epicaricacy (pronounced
ep-ih-kar-IK-uh-see). I wonder if languages other than German and English have a word for it. I'll bet they have one in the US White House! :smile:

You're right. I stand corrected. I wondered who would be the first to spot that. © Capt. Mainwairing.

No wonder it has fallen out of use - just too complicated. :smile:
