I am back from having my tea, and as teatime is over and i am back in the crease...

Oval

Most definitely part of the Underground system!!!


Mrs Trellis is an unreliable gossip and professional troublemaker. Dr Beauchamp-Mumblethrop, as a fine upstanding member of the community, would of course deny knowledge of anything taped to that filing cabinet to someone as untrustworthy as Mrs Trellis. Deny everything, Baldrick.

Oh dear, Oval has already been declared so its straight back to the Pavillion for you, young man - that's the trouble when you have one square leg and a silly point.

By using the Duckworth-Clueless perpendicular, I can take a long hop to

St Johns Wood

Maybe just one teabag next time then.

I am attired in the traditional London Bus red Seersucker jacket, Jermyn St shirt, with a pair of hyperbolic geometric pants and of course turquoise stilettoes.

What else would one wear in a Pavillion?  And yes, the shoes are very well heeled, Sir.

So I think it is time, attired appropriately for a bilateral move, to move to Bond St.

Be careful for the next move is the 100th in the game and is pivotal.  Only stations of 100 years old or more!

Stovold's teaser #1. I find Kings Cross to have six interconnecting lines and I believe this to be the most on the system.  Any advance on 6?

Waders are welcome in the more liberal parts of Soho. Possibly de rigeur, in fact!

i think you are right, MM. In some quarters, Bank and Monument are described as the Bank Monument complex which also has six lines.

Your last move has cut off my route to the DLR, so I'm going for a risky move that everyone is avoiding

Camden Town

Got fined on the dangle way for impersonating staff but with so many moves I've lost track of where we've been.
I would venture to Wimbeldon but as I think it has already been visited will a bit mad and go to Barking.

Barking was visited previously, but before TGV's appel, so i believe under the Old Viva Convention (under which one is continually driven mad) it is allowed.

I think Camden Town was a wonderful move for the 100th in the game. Fabulous place and a great move in the game.

But as we are now Barking, i will take us via the Royal Electrical Railway to Regent Spark.

As a diversion while others visit the zoo while we are in Regent's Park...

Stovold challenge #2

I started with the obvious Embankment to Charing Cross that is about 200 yards, but only one stop on the tube, so hardly an embarrassment of geographical shortsightedness.

But how about Warren St to Euston Square.  To walk it is 0.15 miles.  By tube it is a minimum of three stations and one change of line... Warren St... Victoria line via Euston to KX, change to Circle and one stop to Euston Sq.

Can anyone find a worse journey bytube for a similarly short walk?

There's a challenge!

A post office van turned up at my house early this morning with the first of another sackload of letters from a Mrs Trellis of North Wales (heaven help us if she were to discover e mails) so I'm am going to have to spend time away from the game today whilst I plough through. Here's an example:

"Dear Field Marshall Pendgomery,

Delighted to learn that you are still keeping yourself alert despite being over 100 years old. Your performance in the desert was magnificent, and a joy to behold.

I have heard about some waders on the game in Mornington Gusset and wondered if you could use your expertise with Desert Rats to advise me whether the large brown rodent that has been traversing my garden is likely to nest in them.

Yours sincerely

Mrs Trellis (North Wales)"
