Changing railstation names
Al wrote:
Having wandered about Ashburton Grove, site of the new Arsenal FC ground, it occured to me that there are three roughly equidistant rail stations. I humbly suggest changing their names. "Arsenal" on Plimsoll Road (Piccadilly) could become "Arsenal West" "Drayton Park" could become "Arsenal Central" and "Holloway Road" (Piccadilly) could become "Arsenal East". If this can be arranged, I'd further like to suggest changing the LB Islington's name to "London Borough of Arsenal". Would that be okay? What's wrong with Arsenal reverting to its original name, "Gillespie Road"? |

That's why my vehicle's the Piccadilly Line - It's the size of a county and it comes every two and a half minutes |

What's wrong with Arsenal reverting to its original name, "Gillespie
Road"? Too many syllables for visiting Spurs fans. OK, Arse it is then. How about "Welcome to Arse...Home of French football" |
