Title: Volume 48 Number 7 - Apr 2021
Post by: Tod Sloan on April 20, 2021, 16:36
Having read through the journal several times, I am mystified to find the "Free Society kit inside" as stated on the front cover. Could the editor please enlighten me as to what it was supposed to be?
Thanks,
Tod

(and the sticker on the envelope did say 'Spot the April Fool! Clue - it's on the front cover').

Don't forget that the April issue was also Chris' last one, so I suspect that the new Editor (Stuart Taylor) is as much in the dark as you are Tod...

Well, with a little help from Tom Paxton -

It went "zip" when it moved and "bop" when it stopped,
And "whirr" when it stood still.

Of course being invisible I've lost it and can't find out any more.

Oh dear, silly me. Well and truly caught! I didn't note the warning on the envelope. Thank you all, I hope you had a good laugh at my expense!

But you also took it in good part -  OO9 Society is a friendly group.

Don't worry, most of us don't read the post label either! I hadn't even noticed it until someone raised it somewhere else, and by then it was well past 1 April!!

I read the sticker and then couldn't see the April fool on the cover. I decided it was the suspension on the loco in the cover photo!
