He's right.

There are lots of stations with two words with the first longer than the second, so if you only had that to go on you may find it quite difficult to identify the station.

I think it may be easier if people stop saying things like "there are x clues in this picture" every time someone posts a new one, as what consitutes a "clue" is somewhat subjective.

I disagree; saying "There are at least two clues in this picture" is amusing and should be continued with gay abandon.

Besides, mine was a clue, because it narrows the stations down. I coupled the fact that it was a ground-level station with the word lengths and this got me the answer.

Of the 39 stations on the DLR, 21 have two word station names. Of that 21, 12 have the second word shorter than the first. While it may not tell you which station it is, it'll tell you which ones it isn't, eliminating nearly three quarters of the field at once.

(And if anybody moans that it's not immediately obvious that it's on the DLR then a> you're on the wrong site and b> tubeguru helpfully pointed it out in the thread)
