    The Chieftans recorded “The Pride of Pimlico”

    OK, so I believe they were writing it about a pub, but it’s got a tube station in the name. A station that is unique in that it contains none of the letters in the word “badger”.

    A station that is unique in that it contains none of the letters in the word “badger”.

    In similar vain – St John’s Wood is the only station to contain none of the letters from the word “mackerel”.

    If we’re doing The Jam then ‘Down in the Tube Station’ ?

    Eton Rifles. Is there a station in Eton?

    Windsor and Eton I think.

    got the HMHB “Joy Division Oven Gloves” stuck in head now (and can’t find any station names in there, unless there’s a station called Quantocks).
