LOL Yeah ive noticed that quite literally no thread stay on their subjects, on the other hand it's what makes a fantastic read! xD To take this thread on another tangent, the abuse of "literally" to mean the exact opposite (or even just used as a vague intensifier) is one of my pet peeves. Particularly as in this case, neither the meaning of the sentence nor the original meaning of "literally" are true. Although there are many threads which do not stay on topic, there are threads that do not diverge onto other matters - an example being my query regarding Chalk Farm station. ~~~~ |

Potters Bar is a bit odd, too - the county is Hertfordshire, although we share an EN postcode with Enfield, which *is* in London (and whilst one can't use one's travelcard to get here by train, you can by certain buses). The Boots in Darkes Lane here puts "London" in its address on till receipts. I gather it did used to be counted as part of London but at some point they were allowed to vote on it.

Similar problem in Waltham Cross. I live in Enfield Lock (zone 6). The next station along the line, (Waltham Cross), is out of the zones. However, routes 279, 491, 327, 317, 217, and probably some others terminate at WX Bus Depot, and I get free travel from there... yet I don't get Inner London Allowance pay, (or whatever it's called) despite the fact I work next to the depot!  Still, I have the advantage of being able to put 'Middlesex', 'Hertfordshire' or 'Greater London' on my address ;D |
