The game consists of each panellist in turn announcing a landmark or street, most often a tube station on the London Underground system. The apparent aim is to be the first to announce "Mornington Crescent", a station on the Northern Line.[1] Interspersed with the turns is humorous discussion amongst the panellists and host regarding the rules and legality of each move, as well as the strategy the panellists are using. Despite appearances, however, there are no rules to the game,[2] and both the naming of stations and the specification of "rules" are based on stream-of-consciousness association and improvisation.[3] Thus the game is intentionally incomprehensible.[4] Point 4 especially.

Talk to the thread admin Jen.  Garage Joe was complaining similarly.  We will now have to have a discussion about what is a legitimate snaffle! 

*Stays out of this one* 

You don't need to hun.  There seems to be a problem about the phone App whereby it doesn't represent what we see on our desktops/lappies. I was just having a laff in view of the discussions!
