Sorry, did somebody order a wakeup call?

Just remember, London was even more congested before the charge came in.

Glad to hear you're feeling better, LMD. No worries about the chat. Always time for that sort of thing. I'll be in tonight shortly after 10pm. Cthulhu fhtagn!

It's as simple as that

And of course the map became a work of art when The Great Bear was produced by Simon Patterson in 1992, replacing the station names with artists, politicians, comedians and others.
