I'm going to start with High Street Kensington. A classic start, if I do say so myself.

Excellent choice.
Southwark.
Tate Modern, Shakespeares Globe - a more highbrow move!

EmpressLesbianInChair · 29/09/2019 21:54

I’m going to take a risk here and say Borough. Backwards.

coffeeagogo · 29/09/2019 21:55

A rookie mistake! I am going to implement the reverse caterwaul manoeuvre and play Hainault via Newbury Park

PhysaliaPhysalis · 29/09/2019 21:55

It's an obvious move, but Latimer Road

So, Hguorob?

Punishingly @EmpressLesbianInChair for violating Rule 261 (use of two successive capital letters of same standing) I'll take Borough lead and say, Arnos Grove

IrenetheQuaint · 29/09/2019 21:58

Ooh! Oxford Circus

AutumnCrow · 29/09/2019 22:00

Hguorob

But that would surely lead to Oolretaw and a potential disqualification under The Victoria Funeral rulings (2nd edition, amended) of 1901?

dontdoxmeeither · 29/09/2019 22:01

Quite right @AutumnCrow and well spotted

EmpressLesbianInChair · 29/09/2019 22:07

Punishingly @EmpressLesbianInChair for violating Rule 261 (use of two successive capital letters of same standing)

Which is exactly the reason I called backwards. I was using the Brooke-Taylor variant. I forgot about the Victoria Funeral rulings though. Blush

dontdoxmeeither · 29/09/2019 22:08

Easy done @EmpressLesbianInChair

Sorry you were caught Sad

Anyway, I don't think Euston Square is a bad move under the circumstances?

Kleptronic · 29/09/2019 22:09

Yes. Well. Parsons Green.

EmpressLesbianInChair · 29/09/2019 22:12

I thought all clerical stations were blocked after 9pm on a Sunday?

donquixotedelamancha · 29/09/2019 22:15

Surely it's before 9pm?

Kleptronic · 29/09/2019 22:18

9pm where?

dontdoxmeeither · 29/09/2019 22:20

It's 9pm North of the Equator and 9am South. Unless it's September.

Kleptronic · 29/09/2019 22:21

Ok I rescind Parsons Green and proffer Charing Cross.

RomanMum · 29/09/2019 22:22

Has to be Bond Street then..?

dontdoxmeeither · 29/09/2019 22:35

It could be @RomanMum if the precedent set by Walshall v Heston 1987 is anything to go by but I'm not the best historian? Can anyone confirm?

RomanMum · 29/09/2019 22:55

Rules, rules, rules! Bond Street. I insist. And it's my wedding anniversary so that must surely count for something.

AutumnCrow · 29/09/2019 23:08

@RomanMum are you playing the matrimonial disclaimer, because that requires the permission of two-thirds of the current players who are not involved in any way with the ongoing interpretation of Walshall v Heston 1987 (Tracey Island judgements 2001, section 3, para 19).

EmpressLesbianInChair · 30/09/2019 05:09

I don’t mind permitting that. Although it’s the next day now so it might be a bit late.

FrappeLatte · 30/09/2019 05:20

sashh · 30/09/2019 05:30

This is risk but ideal to explain the game to a beginner, soI beg forgiveness from the veterans.

Grange Hill

sashh · 30/09/2019 05:31

I must also beg forgiveness for the typos, my cat tried to help.

'risky' and 'so I'
