Those who are really old might remember that there used to be a big
Woolworth's at Victoria. It was between where Wicked and the Willow Walk Pub is now. A lotta Ws! It was famous as the London shop with the most "footfalls" and the least sales in Europe. Why was that? Well it was because Woolworth's was the best shortcut in the world. If you were going from Vauxhall Bridge Rd (where the southbound bus stops are) to Victoria then going through Woollies was the quickest way. No one ever bought anything. Not even a pea. YOUR MISSION SHOULD YOU CHOOSE TO ACCEPT IT is to replicate that journey twice! At the moment 25 Wilton Rd, AKA Parnell House, has a sign on each door saying that there is no through route to the other road. However, of you were to walk in and talk to the guys at reception, ask some stupid question, then you could say, Okay, and walk out of the opposite set of doors. If you could do that TWICE then you would win 5 seconds of time in the crystal dome. |
