What is the word I am looking for?

[mountainboo]

I know this should go elsewhere but this section is frequently used. What is the word for a group of institutions that collectively go by the same name? TIA

[Bbbananas]

As you question is in body - then I would say Transient Ischaemic Attack.

[Bbbananas]

but it obviously isn't :-)

[Frank97]

Conglomerate?

[Davethedog]

TIA = Thank you in advance :-)

[mountainboo]

Lol, thanks salla, but no

[Bbbananas]

Seriously - in body and soul, or health and fitness, that is what it would be. Ask sqad. I bet that is what he thinks. He and I are (usually) of one medical mind (and also, usually, Filthy).

[mountainboo]

conglomorate is almost there but it's a different word. It's on the tip of my tongue

[Bbbananas]

Thrush In Action?

(You can get oral rinse for it...)

[mike11111]

Consortium?

[New Judge]

How about "consortium"?

[237SJ]

confederation?

[Bbbananas]

Oh bugger - I just got it. I thought TIA was the acronym for a group of institutions, and you wanted to know what it stood for.

I hope nobody thinks I'm thick - I misread the question. Obviously.

[sidkid]

Tia also means aunt in Spanish. Anybody fancy an Aunt Mary coffee?

[mountainboo]

consortium, that's it. Confederation is also good. THANKS ALL xx
