How many moves did it take you, and what rules were you playing?

Via Umpteen random stations over 40 years  . As for the 'final move, I just happened to be returning from Camden Town to Angel and discovered that Camden Town is 'Exit Only' on Saturday afternoons in February and March - so it was a brisk walk down the Camden Road to the next available station - forgetting that Mornington Crescent is not actually on the Bank branch! As for the rules - no rules allowed. |

I remember Humph explaining that the Tudor Court Rules were rather harder, simply because the Underground system was much smaller in those days. |

William Huskisson MP▸ was the first person to be killed by a train while crossing the tracks, in 1830. Many more have died in the same way since then. Don't take a chance: stop, look, listen.
"Level crossings are safe, unless they are used in an unsafe manner." Discuss.

You should have asked: I'm sure Samantha would have bent over backwards to help you find another entrance... |

She wasn't there. She had promised to help a gentleman restore an antique chest of drawers. Apparently, Samantha is in charge of polishing, while he scrapes the varnish and wax off next to her. |

Ref postings immediately above this one: I have been known to choke and nearly drive into the back of another vehicle listening to this sort of thing while on the motorway. Of course I don't really understand it (  ) but I think the contributions here might be worthy of broadcast. |

I'd heard Samantha had to nip off to meet her new gentleman friend who's been ringing her all day in a grumpy mood. Despite being very busy, Samantha says she can always find time to handle his testy calls. |
