The "I'm sorry I haven't a clue" thread.

[Sterlo]

Samantha has just popped out to see a butcher friend, he always looks for different ways to sell his produce. She says she can't wait to try his beef in ale or his tongue in cider.

My favourite Humph into, "When I talk about Colin Sell, people always ask about the old maestro, unfortunately it's failed its MOT so he's had to come on his bike."

It's Colin Sell, btw.

I think I've often confused him with this guy https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chris_Serle

Using the little known Oblique Submissive, .... Cockfosters.

Can I just clarify whether stations with escalators are out of order are ‘Wild’ in this game?

You obviously have not read the rules properly

A modern adjunct to the Ancient and Modern Rules. In this version play starts at Fairlop. If at any point of the game a player lands on an underground station with operational lift service he must return immediately to Fairlop. If he lands on an elevator however, he is quickly catapulted to Chalk Farm Road.

You may also like to revisit the "street level rules" (faulty elevator wild rule was revoked)

 

[Randomnerd]

I feel this thread may have legs...

From Cockfosters, avoiding nip I'll play Ealing Broadway.
BTW, Regarding the old Maestro, Colin sold it and bought an Escort. She died laughing at Colin's left hand technique!

Mmm........Acton Town

And I am applying the "Windsor ruling" to that move.

Apologies, I only have the abridged version of the rules. I appreciate that under the Kingston Convention of 1973 that is not an excuse and consequently I'll miss a turn.

@Fab Foodie
Very decent of you.
Here's a hint to get you back on track
The Burlington original rules state that "all WC postcodes count as double" (although no consecutive WC code is allowed)

But surely if you do that, you'll square the diagonals which will put you in nip?

Correct me me if I am wrong but I believe that Stovolds reversal would apply in those circumstances.... because there is the possibility of a river crossing triangulation?
Missing a turn maybe the only way out of it.

In that case, would Kew gardens be a conservative measure (disabled access notwithstanding)?

I nearly crashed the car when they did that one !

You are in luck, North London rules state that
"Contraflows are inverted, and to avoid triangulation Covent Garden will be wild".
You should be ok therefore.
