Everybody does NOT like politics. Hopeless Traveller does, and we all argue with him.

Re: Zone 1 2012
It should really be a mixture of typical general knowledge rounds and yes a round on the tube as well.... Politics is really too much of specialist subject to devote a whole round to....

Re: Zone 1 2012 - Friday 8th June
Am I correct when I note that there are no station closures or other major restrictions for Z1CC on June 8th?
Looking forward to this!

Re: Zone 1 2012 - Friday 8th June
Well here is the relevant section of the Zone 1 2011 thread that I posted up:
Meeting Station/Point:
The meeting point is the open plaza area outside the McDonalds at Liverpool Street. For those who don't know, exit onto the National Rail concourse and take the stairs/escalator opposite platforms 2 and 3 up to street level.
