A Story from The Tube ...
Right, another silly idea for a game. Let's see how long it lasts before we all tire of it...
We’re all telling a story, post to post. Making it up as we go along. But somewhere every post must contain something to do with the Tube buried cleverly within its words (in capital letters, please). Such as a station name, a line name, equipment, basically anything to do with Tube travel. Perhaps even a Forum member’s name.
A single word, such as ‘BANK’ should not be used on its own, but should be split across two words (e.g. “Let’s BAN Kerry from this place”). Or perhaps contained within a longer word (e.g. “He decided to file for BANKruptcy).
If you've made a post, but no-one else has posted for a week, you are free to make another (consecutive) post then.

Once upon a time, a new camera was manufactured. This particular CANON SPARKed a lot of interest in the world of photographers...
