I
haven't noticed problems in KHS, but I'm not there that often.

Ditto.

I also quite like what they have done at Seven Dials although that too I
visit only rarely these days.

An exhibition of stupidity

Exhibition Road has had the pavements and kerbs removed to turn it
into a place where pedestrians and vehicles don't quite know who is
supposed to be where. Apparently that's a good thing....

Marine themed smartcards

How is it "culturally insensitive"?


I had assumed Mizter T suggested "jellied eels" as rhyming slang for
"wheels". I'd understood that rhyming slang was not inclusive language
and hence was...

No, a salmon(d) card!

And salmon pink is probably about the only colour it could be without
upsetting one football team or another.

Scotland's national team played in salmon pink and...

Westfield and the DLR

On this visit, I was surprised just how much construction still seemed
to be going on around the park, given that the venues are all supposed
to be more or less complete. Even the temporary...

Westfield and the DLR

Yes, I know that the Olympic stadium arena is sunken, but would that
provide enough material to raise the far larger Olympic park area that
surrounds it?

I assume zone 1 & 2 are

You assume wrongly. We are in Zone 2 (assuming you mean tube zones) and

Carnival 2011 - poor travel info

Air holes in Camberwell

Come to think of it, this tunnel must be cut and cover, although I'm
not entirely sure why it was covered at all.

Possibly to provide the skating rink which opened c.1876.

I thought that official TfL policy was to describe the lines as

that the expectation is that the official naming policy...

My understanding is that you *can* get Oyster CS to send you a cheque

A UK cheque is of no use to a foreigner, and don't you have to have an
address registered in the UK for this?
