please explain

It looks like there was a post in the thread that needed approval. There are a few members on the forum who need their posts approved before they appear to everyone. I hadn't realised (or remembered!) that it also changed the colour of the thread for everyone else as well. It should be normal now.

Behold, a voice from the Gods, and the fog clears!

And there we have it.

Wouldn't have guessed that in a million years.

I'm just a member with a few more buttons to play with!

Ah, so I was right back in post #4

Tank · January 16, 2021, 01:41:27 PM

Oh yes, genius!

I'm starting to feel really senile now. I always thought it was pink! No wonder I just got new glasses

I saw the "Please Explain" heading and got all excited. I thought someone had been issued with a "Form 1".

Only big railway people will understand.

The Aussie members will immediately think of Pauline Hanson. I know I did!

But as GrahamB says above, only certain people will understand.

I feel left out now as I haven't got a scooby doo what you're on about.

Isn't it past your bed time anyway George?

Same here I started this thread and no idea what you are talking about. Any way thanks Tank for explaining the reason for the colour change whatever colour it was, I bet Laurence the owner of the topic has no idea about all this, lol.

GrahamB · January 16, 2021, 04:01:50 PM

Teehee,
On the big railway, if you have cocked up or may have cocked up you would get a "Form 1", otherwise called a "Please explain".

One example would be a SPAD.

Thanks @GrahamB for the explanation of the Form 1, but now you have set another puzzle what's a spad ?.......

Pauline Hanson is an ex-fish & chip shop owner who is now a radical sometimes politician.
