I have tried copy and paste (and it works) but doesn't look very elegant.
Everybody else seems to be able to include snippets of other posts or bits of code on nice white backgrounds.
How do I do that please.

Surround the code snippet with [code] and [/code].
You can also select the code inside the textarea, then click the "Code" button above the textarea.

Supplementary question . . .
. . . How do I get rid of the word 'Code' ?
In the example above. it was obviously not code but a snippet of another post.

no chance :| For snippets of other posts there's [quote="nick"][/quote]

Hit the quote button on the right side of every post, and it surrounds their post in Quote tags.

There's a short BBCode guide at the phpBB site: http://www.phpbb.com/community/faq.php?mode=bbcode. Not everything works exactly the same, but it's a good start. To learn what you can and cannot do, toy around with the various buttons right above the text area. Use the preview button to see what it'd look like if posted.
