I don't know. I can guess, though I'll keep those to myself...

RLWS?

Google says Rice Lake Weighing Systems, a manufacturer of industrial scales and software (RLWS).

Are you asking if there are any fatties here?

Is it real life something something.
Am I close?

RLWS

google also suggests Real living Wage (s)

we are in News and Politics so its not an item of bric a brac....

I’m sure I read a book years ago with a WS as an enigmatic mystery figure, I’ll see if I can find it, maybe it’s a Real Life whatever his name was?

Why use an acronym that isn't well known, especially in News and Politics? Is it intended to be an exclusive thread for 'those that know'?

Galaxy Thu 01-Jan-26 18:19:34

Well none of us do Rosie grin

Really left-wing socialists?

Regular Labour’s Wrong Statements?

This is an excellent thread.

This is a review of the book W.S. (short story) I was thinking of - it stuck in my mind because it was creepy, it must be 40 years since I read it.

I don’t like cliques.

That sort of know something you don’t know and I’m not telling.

Only the chosen elite are allowed in……..

Wyllow3 Thu 01-Jan-26 18:43:23

Nah, it's just a bit of humour in a light way. cossy doesn't do "cliques"

it a guess the ......... x game. I haven't a clue

Keep getting the letters in wrong order 🥱🤷‍♀️ Safe to say I do not know what it means!

Please tell us Cossy, or I will be thinking up silly ideas all night. For we Gavin and Stacey fans, ‘if you know, you know’ relates to the Owain Hughes in joke, but I can make that fit your letters.

Casdon Thu 01-Jan-26 19:29:22

I can’t, not I can.

I think you’ll find that I’m correct with my definition! It comes from trump’s Christmas speech.
