So why didn't you answer "London Marylebone"?

Since you've bothered to continue this pointless argument you may as well have the point for getting it "right". Try to be this creative in all your answers and you may even earn some special, if irrelevant, "pedant points".

To be equally pedantic the sign outside the station just says "Marylebone"

To be pedantic on a related issue, Luton, Stansted and Gatwick airports aren't even in the Metropolitan Borough of Greater London.

I guess I have to point out that Greater London is not a Borough, it is comprised of Boroughs. :D

I'm sure it was stated a few quizzes back that we were using the current tube map as the reference point (i.e. stations chosen had to be on that map)? In which case, it states Marylebone and not London Marylebone on it.

Those who are arses without being smart however, are:

palkanetoijala31 (Queen's Park)
starkey7 (Victoria)
uefacup81 (the rather predictable Berlin Hauptbahnhof)
Going Underground (Paddington)

Quiz 11.03 is coming up and it's a bit trickier.
Well it's bound to be right sometime! :wink:
