I didn't think you could go from Euston Square to Southwark without using
Victoria unless you were in 'nip'?

You can't? I've always gone from Euston Square to Southwark on a
Bakerloo-Line-starting game. What rule are you talking about?

That'll be according to the Whiting-Bellamy confederation.

Well under the Whiting-Bellamy Confederation (capital C, please), you
can't go to Earl's Court after 9:30 a.m. on a working day, which means
your earlier maneuver would be illegal.

This being a thoroughly English game/pastime/whathaveyou may we limit
ourselves to English language usage please? It rather spoils the fun for the
onlookers d'you see?

I'm using the south London configuration of 'confederation'.

you can't go to Earl's Court after 9:30 a.m. on a working day,

Smithsonian Wednesday rules allow it in certain circumstances, but I'm not
sure, to be honest, if this is one of them. Could someone please advise?

Pre1974 (and as all experienced players will know) the Whiting-Bellamy
accord was the loophole to get from Euston Square to Southwark in a Bakerloo
line or non-Bakerloo line starting game. As the London convention rule
amendment conference declared in December 1973 "As a majority of rule
adjudicators have declared the official recognition of 'nip' as a bona fide
amendment to the rule and spirit of the game the Whiting-Bellamy accord
shall henceforth be changed to the Whiting-Bellamy confederation (with a
small c). Any move 'over the river' can only be made if a player is in 'nip'
as determined by this rule change.

I hope that clears that one up!

Glad to have been of some service to you.

Now, can anybody explain 'Nip'?
