It is now Christmas Morning (at least in the Far East)so let me be the first to wish you all a good one. In addition the Beeb has just broadcast a programme on the definitive rules of Mornington Crescent. It should be available on the radio 4 sebsite by now.

So let's start a christmas game at the end of the new hyperspace extention to the Jubilee Line in Manger Square Bethlehem.

Seasons Greetings

I'll stay on the "In Dulce Jublio" Line to move to Port Said, in the hope of catching one of those three ships ...

Oz - would that be on the Victoria Line? Or am I playing the Darwin Evolution of the game?

Definitely Darwin. Christmas rules are quite clear about double reverses, as I'm sure you know.

Walking moves only, no motor or horse-driven vehicles, cycles or mopeds allowed, on Christmas Day.....

Oh, and the Jubilee line will be closed completely from 26-30 Dec, while London Underground are making the trains longer by adding an extra carriage.

That'll be just before the RMT strike on New Year's Eve.

Happy Christmas everybody.

When MC is played over Xmas can you play the winteringham variations?

Always used to be allowed.......but frankly with all these radio programmes about it nowadays one never knows.......
