This is a bit Balderdash and Piffle but does anyone know when this term for old members was first used? It'd be interesting to know. I'd hate for us to refer to say members from the 80s as such if it's recent! Jonathan 17:24, 20 May 2007 (BST)
One map point
From my point of view Graham Quince was the first I heard the phrase, so 1996, but I don't know if he was merely continuing a pre-existing term. Sprow 20:42, 20 May 2007 (BST)
I have vague (stress vague) recollections of Graham using this term - the date would fit since a lot of members had left in the summer of 96, He would have used the term from autumn of 96. I do not think the term goes back further than this.
