Well done to barrykas for getting the most correct answers (one wrong).
On the other hand, well done to Soup Dragon for getting the most answers wrong. (7 wrong!) :D

Would Angel and Swiss Cottage not work as answers for number 11 too?

How can I have got 7 wrong? Of the ones I tried to Answer I only got 3 wrong and 8 correct. Question 14 I misread and answered Highbury & Islington. I'm shocked at the slur on my character :shock:
One day I shall return!

I'm calling a foul on Number 11, given that:
  1. The official name for "Bull & Bush" was North End
  2. It never bleedin' opened!
Cheers,

Barry

Even Clapham North would be a better answer then North End!

Don't I get bonus marks for giving both correct answers for questions 5 and 7??!! :P

OK you all dont have to moan at me.

Gasman - Ok I'll give them to you.

Soup Dragon - You missed loads out aswell

Barrykas - Take it up with my source! :) I looked for pubs/tube station names and North End/Bull and bush was the only one I could find. I thought that it would be very popular anyway.

Editorsfoot - Ok I'll give you the bonus points.

I'm not moaning, all I'm saying is that I only got 3 wrong, not attempting to answer 4 questions doesn't mean that I got them wrong! I only tried to answer the questions that I thought I knew the correct answers, it would be easy to cheat and google the answers.

Technically speaking the correct answer to 8 is Heathrow Central (the original station) :)

No, just because it has changed names doesn't mean it's a different station. It still is used for a large airport and still was the original station. The correct answer is Heathrow T123.
