"Tom Anderson" wrote in message ... How many London placenames (and, moreover, station names) are based on trees? Seven Sisters, Sevenoaks, Royal Oak, Burnt Oak, Poplar ... I thought Poplar was called Poplar 'cos lots of people like it. IGMC. -- Brian "Chuff! Chuff! Poot! Poot! A model railway exhibition can do that to a person" |

I thought Poplar was called Poplar 'cos lots of people like it. IGMC. Well, most of the announcers on the DLR solemnly tell you that "The next station is Popular".... Better than the next station being Oval, it always looks long and thin like the others, to me. -- Annabel Smyth http://www.amsmyth.demon.co.uk/index.html Website updated 8 March 2004 |
