Roberts writes Dave wrote in message ... ronnie biggs writes Define 'worst'? Ugliest? Smelliest? Most vandalised? Poorest service? Most inaccessible to people with children in buggies? Hardest to pronounce? Ugliest: Wembley Central. Smelliest: Wembley Central. Most vandalised? Wembley Central. Inaccessible? Wembley Central. And the most frightening. I've only used it once (I posted to utl about the experience). It still frightens me to think about it. -- Ian Jelf, MITG, Birmingham, UK Registered "Blue Badge" Tourist Guide for London & the Heart of England http://www.bluebadge.demon.co.uk |

You forgot "to work at" for which I'd like to nominate Arnos Grove (EB) on a cold, wet, just on the edge of sleet November Friday evening at about 18:30 when the job's up the wall and the SDM at Earls Court has just decided in his (or her) infinite wisdom to short-trip 3 Cocks on the spin then erroneously pulled off the WB starter for the one that's supposed to go to through and has to take a release, shutting us down for another 2 minutes...Oh the laughs and jolly badinage we have with the punters;-) -- Cheers, Steve.

On a Jubilee Line train at Canning Town, a Japanese gentleman asked a member of LU staff for "Dogoranda". It was only when the member of staff pointed upwards that I understood. -- John Rowland - Spamtrapped Transport Plans for the London Area, updated 2001 http://www.geocities.com/Athens/Acro...69/tpftla.html A man's vehicle is a symbol of his manhood.

Robert Woolley writes So which do you reckon is the hardest to pronounce? For people whose first language is not English, the one with GHTSBR in the middle of its name. Naah. Gotta be Leicester Square (Ly-cester Square) or Maida Vale (Maddyah Valet) Plaistow and Theydon Bois catch out quite a few of the locals - let alone tourists. If Plaistow is 'Plarstow' why isn't Paisley 'Parsley'? -- Phil ,,,^.".^,,, --- Outgoing mail is certified Virus Free. Checked by AVG anti-virus system (http://www.grisoft.com).
