Does the station name begin with C ?

Is the station name one word ?

Obviously not. (12/15)

(did you not see that the station name begins with C? Perhaps you thought it was Cighgate, Carchway or Cotteridge and Whetstone)

No. (and I'm not counting this, because I said the station name isn't just one word)

Yes (it's Chalk Farm). (13/15)
