Clue - I used to live five minutes' walk from this station at some point in the last five years (assuming that one again I haven't been an arse and got it all wrong).

Do you move every three months near another tube/DLR station or something?

No, but I did say "in the last five years" which doesn't narrow it down too much.

Yes, I can quite confidently state that I have never lived within five minutes of this station and it's not the nearest station to me.

(Reminds me, I keep meaning to start the 'Alternative Photo Quiz' but haven't had a chance to start yet...

When I lived in this area I found that most phone numbers had one of three area codes, but the whole number could easily have led to a positive search on Google.
