Posted by Rail Blue on Tue Jan 23 10:26:40 2007, in response to Re: Very silly Underground map, posted by Max Roberts on Tue Jan 23 07:48:48 2007. Transport for London (TfL) has produced a special map, based on the tube map .Is that "special" as in "special school"? Andrew Adonis, Minister for London Schools, unveiled the map at a celebratory event on 11 January attended by some of the students and teachers featured on it. Lord Adonis, however, was ineligible to appear on the map. He was educated at Kingham Hill School (IND, SEL, mixed) and Keble College, Oxford. I suppose we can commend the London Borough of Camden's Social Services Department for making such an enlightened decision for young Andy, and only wonder if his government would allow them to repeat this act of social responsibility. Maybe this sort of thing can be parodied (and put an end to once and for all) by putting criminals on the map near their home stations. Cray Twins, Jack the Ripper, Denis Nielsen, Jonathan Aitken, Dame Shirly Porter, Ted Knight, endless fun for everyone seeing just how much low life London has been responsible for over the years. Quite a fun idea... here are 28 stations: Bank BCCI Bethnal Green Kray Twins Camden Town Anthony Hardy Canary Wharf Paul Reichman Earl's Court Colin Ireland Edgware Road (Bakerloo Line) John Lloyd Edgware Road (sub-surface lines) George Smith Fulham Broadway Michael Lupo Hammersmith (District & Piccadilly Lines) Jack the Stripper Hammersmith (Hammersmith & City Line) Jack the Stripper Heron Quays Robert Maxwell Highgate Dennis Nilsen Hyde Park Corner Dame Shirley Porter Kennington Thomas Cream Knightsbridge Mohamed Fayed Ladbroke Grove John Christie Lambeth North Ted Knight Limehouse Gregor MacGregor London Bridge Ken Livingstone Neasden Graham Young Sloane Square Abu Nidal South Kensington John Haigh Stepney Green George Chapman Stockwell Kenneth Erskine Tottenham Court Road Robert Mawdsley Wapping Rupert Murdoch Westminster Jonathan Aitken Whitechapel Jack the Ripper Any ideas for the other 280 or so? |
