    Has the amber bars something to do with signal strength? In which case not sure if any one will be able to read this as I appear to be amber barless.

    Or is it some kind of social experiment?

    Maybe I don't deserve a full set of Bars.

    We're way off-topic, but it's a series of references to the 1956 Comedy "The Ladykillers" which starred among others Alec Guinness as Professor Marcus, a criminal mastermind and Katie Johnson as Mrs Wilberforce, a charming elderly widow (aka "Mrs Lopsided")...

    PS (added on edit) Unlike the conversation, in the film, the railway signal did not go way above the Professor's head!

    Yes I know...that's why I wanted Wick to play Marcus, whilst I play the railway signalman! (Donnnnggg)

    Oddly enough, so did I...nothing seemed to change immediately, but perhaps it works a little more slowly...

    Are you saying that all of my posts aren’t brilliant c.d.

    Ive just liked your last post by the way. I don’t think you get a bar for each like though. To be honest I’m clueless about how it’s worked out.

    I could certainly provide a list of posters that would never give me a like though
    .

    So it was all worth while getting my mum to join the Forum to like my posts then Robert?

    Does Wick get a second prize?
