Ah, but any Aussies will tell you the Ashes belong down at Earl's Court so off we go. Even heavier damage on the Enland physche.

I declare that Hatman has a vowel disorder, place him in immediate Vorderman and backpedal to Heathrow Terminal 3. Two orange Smarties(TM) and 62 AOL CDs.

I'll swap Hatman a Q, Z and W and a random constinent for a couple of vowels or which I have none.

By entering Vorderman I have a clear run to Picadilly

Though John Faleepnip* advises against it, I'm feeling saucy, and so move onwards to Chalfont and Latimer.

Can I but in? A first time player but I've managed to swipe an old copy of the '83 inverse twostep rules from my brother while he was aslep.
Anyway, to show deference to my lack of experience I choose Richmond.

(Tee hee hee ) Finsbury Park!!! You fell into my trap - I invoke the rule of threes, invalidating every third station on a primary coloured line! (Starting from the most Westerly stations, as per the 1903 ruling)
