Amateur move at best….. embarrassing for one such as yourself tbh
Hmm, that’s a bit cringe-tastic; if you haven’t spotted the rather deft feint and subsequent double-bluff, then we’re not going to explain it for yourotate!
Didn't the feint and double bluff involve the conditional inclusion of the London Post Office Railway stations? It ran underground from Paddington to Whitechapel; narrow gauge, unmanned. You can see the attraction. The stations were: Whitechapel Eastern Delivery Office, Liverpool Street, King Edward Street, Mount Pleasant, New Oxford Street, Rathbone Place Western Delivery Office, Wimpole Street Old Western Delivery Office, Bird Street Western Parcels Office and Paddington Sorting Office.

I can't for the life of me remember what the conditions were. Ghastly, probably.

Bird Street.

I understand your logic, Dicky, and it’s fine as far as it goes but, once the first condition has been satisfied, the second then comes into play. Hence the double bluff.

Hint - Gillespie Road
