Ian, we are quite regular....

Actually that was a good escape from the traps of the Oxbridge Colleges, so while being dragged through Baker Street by Ian I might as well head off to The Oval.

John, ah we have so many. The rules are many and arcane, mostly verbal, developed and never committed to paper, only (faulty) memory.
Its not that is trapped by the River Cam, but another John.
But since you feel as if you are in nidd your safest play would be to move to a main London Station that hasn't been passed though yet; we've had King's Cross, Paddington, Marylebone so there are plenty to choose from.
You will pick up the rules quite qickly, but one to remember, unless Huph jumps in you are heading in the right direction.
Of course saying this to you has put me in nidd for eight hours...

For the rules one should refer to NF Stovold’s Mornington Crescent: Rules and Origins, sadly currently out of print.

Nottinghill


Never mind John, even Humph (the long standing chair of many a short game of MC) doesn't get all the rules all the time.
(Isn't it about time they got Humph a seat, so he can become the short sitting chair??)

Ah, Celt, you are getting close.
Just pluck up the courage, find a London Underground map and you'll soon start to see the pattern.


Now, from Maze Hill, its got to be Greenford, no, wait Hounslow West, that's better.
