Good thread Darren and interesting link 
.
It's Amazing how many CB slang terms there are. I was into CB in the late 70's early 80's and remember some of the terms and the 10 code too.
I can remember a few slang terms for the local area..
The Ash Tray - The Viewpoint on Portsdown Hill.
The Big Diamond - The Isle Of Wight.
The Clock - St Mary's Church, Fratton.
10 -10 till we do it again!

Not sure if its making a come back or not? but the lorry drivers and some site diggers road workers use them plus the farms and some car road cruises road trips use them around these parts

Handy for cruises, say if someone needs to pull over we know why etc... Or if someone stuck at lights. When cruising with like 10 cars it's a long way to look back to see you have everyone.
