SteveS Posted June 4, 2015 Share Posted June 4, 2015 (edited) I've taken the liberty of writing this up and sending it to Mornington Crescent World for publication, giving you full credit. I imagine the Letters page of the following issue will be well worth a read. I understand that a Mrs Trellis of North Wales has sent in a letter.

StuartEstell Posted June 5, 2015 Share Posted June 5, 2015 A straightforward pass through to Marble Arch - a frequently-used stalling manoeuvre. Mrs. Trellis has complained about such play before, before forgetting to post the letter and going out to trim her wisteria. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don Taylor Posted June 5, 2015 Share Posted June 5, 2015 I understand that a Mrs Trellis of North Wales has sent in a letter.Unfortunately, the letter was a French one and seemed to say something about a child being kidnapped by a knight. She said to go to l': Elephant and Castle Maybe Mr Google mistranslated? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She said to go to l':Elephant and Castle Maybe Mr Google mistranslated? Another fragment of the letter has emerged. Apparantly the child is to be fed with 'un croissant du matin'. Actually it says taken to 'un croissant du matin', but that makes no sense at all. Who would name a place after a pastry? Where can this be?

Wolf Molkentin Posted June 9, 2015 Share Posted June 9, 2015 Don, your last post has proved to be really clever - sort of compulsing to the final move and ipso facto paralyzing every single player. To end this standoff I'm playing East India since DLR has turned out to be a welcome wildcard in this year's game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually it says taken to 'un croissant du matin', but that makes no sense at all. Who would name a place after a pastry? Where can this be? Don't forget Pudding Lane, close to the Monument, where the Great Fire started. Edinburgh has Bread Street, a frequent move in the local game of Morningside Crescent. Also, a Wheat Stone is, I assume, for grinding wheat to make bread. Don, your last post has proved to be really clever - sort of compulsing to the final move and ipso facto paralyzing every single player. To end this standoff I'm playing East India since DLR has turned out to be a welcome wildcard in this year's game. That gives me the opportunity to move to Pudding Mill Lane also on the DLR. I suspect that the end of the game is quite close, but I'll be out of contact for a few days. I hope that the game will have come to a glorious conclusion by the time I next login.

StuartEstell Posted June 9, 2015 Share Posted June 9, 2015 And for me to play a Helter-Skelter diagonal to Abbey Road This is all getting rather tense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don Taylor Posted June 9, 2015 Share Posted June 9, 2015 A friend of mine once said: "You can take a horse to water, but you can't make him drink. However, if you take him in deep enough ..." I go to Platt's Lane. (See https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wccvUzqbPpU&feature=youtu.befor my justification for this move.). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
