Congratulations to the joint winners!

Ahhhh bless! Sam and scrxisi are obviously meant for each other, they keep winning the quizzes!

In case anyone's wondering, it was me who answered "Aberystwyth", as Steeeeeeevooooooo didn't specify a London Underground station.

I enjoy these more when I'm asking the questions rather than answering them

Me too. Anyone mind if I do another one?

Go ahead!

Woo Hoo Hoo!! And we completed this at separate times!!

I shall attend to one tomorrow. Standby.

Very good, very enjoyable. Lots more please!

My answers:

1) Waterloo and City
2) Balham
3) Stanmore
4) Blake Hall

I guessed 6.08pm for the Olympia question...

I've got a few questions lined up too, I won't rush to do it tomorrow now TG's volunteered.

I thought I'd been quite imaginative with my interchange station one, I think it was one of the more common answers!
