Bit late to the party I'm afraid. I'll take the late start bonus though, in accordance with the 1994 "Chippingham" rules.

Think that lands me at "Kentish Town"

Or risky.....

The paradigm of Kentish Town with both Mayfair and Maylebone also in play, can create a questionable subplot according the Harlty/Dalton/Dalton amendment of 1835...

So, the only proper call is Chancery Lane.....

And, since we are approaching St.Swithins day, I hereby invoke the 56th Involvement of the Heatherington/Smythe move...and quite simply...call -

Baker Street.....

[Cyder]

Have the rules updated to allow the Elizabeth Line amendment to be enforced yet? Or is it delayed due to Covid and Brexit?

[Turn7]

Because covid......

Bugger, I feared as much, right I’ll take a tuppence ha’penny Hackney carriage to Hackney Wick then.

Glasses? Marshes?

Maybe because I'm from Sheffield.

Hah, wide open and allows a simple transit to Knightsbridge.

Then using the 007 double loop reverse, a short trip to Vauxhall Cross, where no trains stop...

It's a shame the Owlerton Spur was never completed. It would have been handy for Penistone Road. They were going call the station Owlerton if I remember correctly. Naming it Penistone would have been asking for trouble.

I'd heard of Mornington Crescent (Who hasn't?!) but never really paid it any attention before and now I'm rueing the fact that I've missed out on years of banal triviality which is right up my, er... crescent.

So audacious as it may seem on one's debut May I proffer Goodge Street?

[DickyC]

Goodge Street? On a Thursday close to the Equinox?

Well, okay. You know best.

Yes it's tricky when spelling it out to insurance companies

It's a feint.

Sir Bernard used it to good effect in the semi-finals of the 1927 championship at Crystal Palace...his subsequent move placed his opponent in huff and put him in control of the diagonal.

Beginner's luck I'm afraid.

How are we feeling about the Acton Agreement ruling this morning?

It's a flagrant betrayal for me.

Acton Agreement
Acton Plan
Action Plan

Plan of Acton

Leave it with me, can you? I need a morning with my AtoZ and Bradshaw's before we go back to the Committee with any ultimatums. Perhaps a whole day. I'll also need the Minutes of Meeting going back to 1927. A week then. End of April latest.
