Iceland is spelt “Island” in Icelandic. I do take your point in that, if playing Germany for example, I suspect it would say “GER” rather than “DEU”, but it doesn’t strike me as much to get annoyed about! I guess that’s the beauty of this thread though eh? 😉
It annoyed me as well, and I think if I were to scroll through the history of this thread, I am also annoyed by many of the abbreviations TV choose to use for teams, as they often make no sense...

I like when they use “CRY” for Palarse, because it’s what their ultras would do if they got into any real trouble. 😉
Also, because I’m childish and easily amused, it pleases me when Arsenal are shown as “ARS”, but they seem to try to avoid this on some channels, going for “ANL” instead, which just looks like “ANAL”, so it’s still amusing. 😎
Bill received today based on their reading. Usual bill on estimates is about 50m3 per six months very consistently, last actual meter reading about two years ago. This bill states water usage for the last 269 days (9 months) is 603m3, so about eight times normal usage. The bill was £1791 rther than a more usual £190 or so.
That cant be right, i thought, I'll read it myself. Well, the meter is external down a plastic tube in the verge. I couldnt even find the bloody thing, even though i know where it is. I dug down about three inches to find the top, clearly undisturbed for years. Scraped off the topsoil, scooped out more soil from the tube then bailed out a couple of pints of dirty water at the bottom.
Got to the meter, which the reading was 514m3 (£1463) less than theirs.
Took photos, called customer services, apparently somewhere in the arse end of karachi, held for 14 minutes before getting through.
Vaguely apologetic, asked me to email a photo of the reading without actually providing an address.
When i checked the TW site for an address there actually isn't one for this purpose, you get referred to a whatsapp acccount that fails to respond to messages.
Upshot: I've updated the meter reading online, cancelled the direct debit and will pelt all and any TW vans with out of date eggs when the eggs have gone out of date. As if there werent enough reasons to hate them already. They seem to have given up entirely, like Rishi.

The ads on TV which claim their Broadband is specifically designed for working from home. HTF does it know that? I can only conclude that there must be millions of people out there researching Pornhub all day.
