    As a next topic, I suggest: British train stations. This can include underground systems such as the Newcastle metro. The more obscure the better; more kudos for Warblington than Waterloo.

    Just pointing out the degree to which this discourages or excludes non-British shipmates from playing the game.


  • Dilatory Denton (due to engineering works there was no train today but don't worry as there will be one next Saturday).

    Yes, we do. But I’m guessing if I’d put forward a category like “North Carolina barbecue restaurants,” people elsewhere wouldn’t really appreciate being told “you have Google.”

    It’s one thing to google for something in a category that starts with X. It’s really another thing to say “many of us know these off the top of our heads, because they’re part of our everyday lives. The rest of you can google if you want to put in anything other than Kings Cross or Paddington.” Add in “[t]he more obscure the better; more kudos for Warblington than Waterloo,” and you’re really just saying “y’all can just sit this one out.”

    But carry on.
