I assumed it was a reference to SymonC's Watford Junction and it then follows that we will bypass Pimlico and will be singing the Moody Blues...

Ah but which one? Clapham or Willesdon? If using sods fourth law one can lead to a move to Mornington crescent but the other means a move to Pimlico.

Definately Clapham.  :music: I never thought it would happen with me and the girl from Clapham  :music:

That was a sneaky move  - didn't think it was possible to go from Meat Loaf to the Seekers.

Congratulations on winning.

Your prize is the Mornington Crescent lightweight salt and pepper travel set. Perfect for journeys when you don't want to carry a heavy pepper mill and salt cellar. You will need to collect the sachets from any branch of Wetherspoons.

Well they're both in the discount section at HMV so I thought it worth the risk...

I shall treasure the prize. (can a pepper mill be used for n-gauge balasting I wonder?)

Anyway I guess I have to start the next game, so lets start at the very beginning - Liverpool Road (Manchester)

Congratulations PLD, i think we all have egg on our faces letting such a simple move catch us out. Exhilarating play. And what a useful prize, ideal for picnics. The Wetherspoons Condiment Trophy really is a prestigious event from one of our top sponsors. You should be proud.

A pepper mill may indeed be used for ballasting, and it just depends on whetheer you want a clean ballast (white pepper) or dirty ballast (black pepper) as to what you fill it with. I recommend one of the really big ones they use in Italian restaurants to get good coverage of a large area. You can also use left over tagliatelle as lineside cable trunking and and old squeezy washing up bottle as a water tower, as demonstrated in my favourite Blue Peter by Valerie Singleton in 1967. Of course, since then Great Western sticky back plastic has been a huge boon in terms of realism... Just search on YouTube for a how to improve Valerie's water tower tutorial video.

As a tribute to Ms Singleton let's go to London, W1A 4WW, at Wood Lane.

When using the Wetherspoons Condiment Trophy for ballasting purposes, it is always best to have a huge handkerchief (or Mrs. Trellis's underwear as a poor substitute) to hand, and it is also recommended all windows are taped up to avoid flying shards of glass incommoding passers-by. If you are at all elderly, the wearing of incontinence pants is also de rigeur.

From Wood Lane, the obvious move is to Forest Hill...

Just had another letter from a Mrs Trellis of North Wales, she writes:

"Dear Mr Portillo,

May I say how pleased I am that OwL has returned to the game. Without him it is a bit like Hamlet without the Balcony Scene

Your sincerely

Mrs Trellis"
