Its a Ditloid question......."060 T the TE" are the initials to a phrase, a fact or a saying......Example 9 P in the S-S means "nine planets in the solar-sytem", or 12 M in a Y means "12 months in a year" or 8T on a O means "8 Tenticles on a octopus"

This one is a killer though.

Sledge, that is correct, in fact the octopus question is amongst mine. I just can't figure the 060, why include the first zero? I thought of phonecodes and prefixes like "060 tells the time electronically" which would make sence if 060 were the speaking clock but it is not. Another application might be navigational compass bearings but I cannot make any sense of that either. Usually it is something so simple that you miss it but this one is turning into a real bugbear.

Are they zeros or the letter O? .......I initialy thought -----------Thomas the Tank Engine  :dunno_white:

I will keep thinking about it but post the answer if it comes to you.

060 might indicate a flight heading   :dunno_white:

or something like:   060 to the true east

Hmmmmmmmmmmm, I think "True East" would be nearer "090" but I have to say I'm getting sold on the idea of Thomas the Tank engine, the "charcter" for want of a better work is based on a Southern Railways 0-6-0 class engine.
Thanks people, I hope I can stop pulling what little hair I have left out now.
