Anyone up for a quick {or long!] game?

North circular rules apply, allowing for Bond street being closed on Saturday, and bus lanes are STRICTLY!! Out of bounds.

So my opening move is, Glouester Place...

Over to you...

OK, you Pommie Gits, "I Haven't a Clue" wot you are wobbling at the jaw about. Neither do I have a Lunnon Map, let alone a Tube to put it in!

Howsomever, from the bits I've picked up when wired to the wireless, MC must be a hoot of a game.

CHALLENGE

Find the train I'm talking about (above) - and give me chapter and verse. You'll find it on the Net. She'll be right if you don't, I'll give you a clue, you clueless clots.....

I suppose it's not quite sporting to invoke Filibert's Rule of Diagonal Approaches at this stage in the game, but it is legal, so:

Ruislip Manor


That should open up some possibilities!
