Railway station ...

Now this is syntax I don't understand.

You catch a bus at a bus stop or at the bus station. You don't catch a "railway" at railway station, you catch a train at a train station!

I drink alcohol at the boat station.

Don't try to understand it - just say it right.

I'm a scientist. My drive is to understand the world. It's always a good idea to step back and look at what we have grown accustomed to. You must live a very boring life Tubeguru, if you don't investigate anything.

How many stupidly pronounced place names can you think of?

Mary lee bone?
Hole born?
Hazebruh?
Roo-wee-slip?

What's the funniest place name that you have actually been to?

I have traversed the entire length of Dancing Dicks Lane in Essex.

Well that's quite a stupid thing to say. You claim my life is "boring" because I prefer to use one word over another, because that's the one I grew up with?

What do I have to do in order to qualify as "not-boring"?

Investigate the world of course...!! Now, go, go, go!!

I still haven't investigated the Watford or Amersham branches. Am I missing out?

Oh my, you are boring

They look like the rest of the Met line.

Now that is a deep question. My own human curiosity for me, personally. My biggest annoyance is when people make sweeping judgements based on ignorance or narrow-mindedness.
