Inventive Tube map
p. This is a great alternative rendering of the map of the [“London Underground(By Cory Doctorow at Craphound)”:http://craphound.com/images/tubemap.jpg]. Many years ago, I used to go out with a guy who lived in Ongar, so I have painful memories of the weeks it seemed to take to get from central London to deepest, darkest Essex on the Tube. Once—on a return trip—a drunk man fell asleep on my shoulder somewhere around [“Theydon Bois(Theydon Bois Village Web Site)”:http://www.theydon.org.uk/]. In typical British fashion, I was too embarrassed to move somewhere else and wake him up.

Ongar is one of those names that will forever live in my memory only as a far-off exotic location that promised a haven of tranquillity while I was stuck in the melee of Oxford Circus or Leicester Square. And didn't the metropolitan line promise Chalfont and Latimer?
I don't think I'll ever visit Cockfosters.----- pete: Haven of tranquility? Ha! I hope that you never actually went there and had your illusions shattered. I've always thought that you should get off the Tube in the 16th Century at Chalfont and Latimer. No-one goes to Cockfosters.
