Ah, yes, I remember now; I think I have two (someone abandoned one at an old workplace, so I nicked it). Slightly better resolution would be nice, though- I might try the Transport Museum at some point, as it's near where I work. Hmm, wonder how much a 'get in as many times you like for a year' ticket is? Only fifteen pounds?

I don't see what's so difficult about learning from the RFC. :) However, the number of people (Bloated Goats, Sexchange) who manage to get it wrong still surprises me.

This is covered in London Walking by Simon Pope (which is where celia read about it, which prompted me and Robin to organise it); his idea was to walk from sunrise to sunset, east to west, along a single row of the A-Z (the proper edition, with the expanded map of Central London in the middle). We [0] took his idea, moved the time of year (he did it in December, so it was only about 9 hours; we did it in March, so it was more like 12), turned it around so it was north to south, and managed to get a lot more people involved. Amazingly, it seemed to be fun, so we're doing it again. This time, the constraint is the route; we'll be trying to walk around the Circle line, either trying to follow it as closely as possible or just walking between the stations.
