There was me thinking you meant subhuman (or subversive, for customers that also frequent this site) :D

When I worked for BT, "subscribers" (subs) became "customers" when there was suddenly competition in the marketplace - from Nynex as they were back then.

I currently work for NTL and unfortunately lots of people still call them 'subs' :nono:

Old habits die hard I suppose

going back to lurking now ... :walk:
