[#278212]

Winter rules (2008 revision 'b'). No blocking back outside,(to make it easier for the amateurs), monuments score double but must NOT be followed by a diagonal. Black line is safe but Victoria Station is out of bounds until they clear the snow.

I'll start with the expected opening gambit for Winter rules:

Parsons Lane

Surely that doesn't apply due to the snow?

PIcadilly, invoking Stovold's 1894 rule on the diagonals, hence avoiding trump.

a reversal on the trump plays it back to South Ealing

just confirming that the 1923 allowance is acceptable because as Stoner pointed out Victoria was avoided. However if Clubber had gone with North Wimbledon then he would have been in "nib".

No can do, WCA. My copy were soaked beyond redemption during an outdoor game where I was demonstrating the Tudor Court Revised Rules to a group of Japanese tourists.

I would have loved too mate but I took my copy of "Erweiterte Mornington Cresent Regeln für Schwachköpfe" from a dead jerry at Monte Cassino, Shortly after reading it I happened upon a gypsy family with whom I exchanged my copy for the life of their young daughter and a few bottles of cheap hooch. I'll never forget that hangover.
