There is no such thing as a pin number.

PIN is an acronym for Personal identification number, therefore you wouldn't be saying 'Personal identification number, number', would you?

You either say PIN, or PI number.

And you use it at an ATM machine, right?

Correct. BUT.

PIN is ambiguous, so is PI number. One might give you a prick (fnarr), the other a clever-clogs mathematician. Therefore, PIN number is the safest way to communicate what you are referring to.

Has GOSBTS been played at Wembley before?

'Sussex by the Sea' was definitely played at our last FA Cup semi-final. The Metropolitan Police Band were resident at Highbury, sitting in the paddock in front of the main stand towards our end. I think they even had a vocalist who sang it. (No clapping and so at the right speed!)
