And in a state of Sir Mick brown-sugar-sweetness, my next move: White City! Why do you taste sooo gooooood ?!

This is tricky, I'm stuck in one of the big lifts at Leicester Square, so obviously I can't engage in "tagging" (following a preceding move with a straight sequential in an attempt to trap the opposition in a repeating loop), no, no, no. But the rules are quite clear, if we haven't been to Fairlop then I feel I have to go to Chalk Farm Road

I asked my British born husband (and Londoner for 30+ years) about this game, and he knew it immediately. Here's a great explanation of the rules along with a bit of background about the show that originated it: http://www.isihac.co.uk/games/mcvariations.html He actually gave me this URL for more background (http://www.ciphergoth.org/writing/mornington.html), but I don't believe a thing on it.

I haven't ever spent that long in Wimbledon and I live there! This move is now moribund, so we move to the next available station: Wimbledon Park. I would also like to welcome to the caterer's ball Mr & Mrs.....
