Me too!
I'm a complete oaf, but I have had a great love for the game since before I knew what it was.
Cost my father a lot of money, it did. He was excluded from the '49 British Allcomers because I'd secluded myself in his travel set, under the driver's light. Ruined his life. Died a broken man.
Still, got to keep up the family tradition, eh?
What-o!

In some ways, yes. My younger sister says that it should be called Mournington Crescent, though. After poor daddy my mother was killed in a collision with a runaway ticket inspector at Fairlop whilst taking me to see my first tournament. My older sister was then murdered after running up huge debts trying to buy me my own station between Maida Vale and Warwick Avenue. Three butlers in a row were struck down by trains as I tried to work out the complex points between Gloucester Road and Earl's Court. Four of my old school friends were killed when they hijacked a rush hour Bakerloo train to win a bet with me over what the shortest possible time was between Marylebone and Edgeware Road and my dog Upney was shot when he tried to defend me from a pimp whilst I was hanging around outside the entrance to Bethnal Green, attempting to glean some information about the drag coefficient of the peak-time Central extension from Hainault to Woodford through shamefully depraved means.
I haven't seen my younger sister since she moved to Brazil following that terrible crash at Vauxhall that she seemed to think was down to me. Threatened to cut my throat if I ever spoke to her again.
Still, never mind, eh?
There's always The Game!
