Well the UK seems to be really buzzing. 2 questions
- What is there in W.London? (winter/indoors summer/outdoors)?
- What exactly is SO ?

< Ref: Note 33.0 by RDGCSS::MURRAY > SO is a fashionable Americanism, meaning Significant Other. I believe it refers to a current sexual partner to whom one is not married. Another definition is Safe Organ. This is possibly more pertinent in these troubled times. Jim. | |||||

Actually, the point of the phrase is that it is ambiguous as to the
sex and marital status of the person in question. Thus, in some
earlier notes there is discussion of "what to do if your you
want to go to a nude beach and your SO doesn't;" that is easier
than talking about "your husband/wife/boyfriend/girlfriend/...".
Of course, when speaking personally, someone who is married will
usually speak of his or her wife or husband; so someone who speaks
of "my SO" is usually speaking of someone to whom he or she is
not married.

Someone came up with SO standing for "Special One" (I believe this
was in the Womennotes). I like it best! It certainly sounds better
than "my ol' lady" or "my ol' man". Shows you how old I am, huh?
Sorry can't help you with West London...only Colorado or Southwest
