FULHAM is SOUTH London, sweetheart! SW6.
Didn't you know the river twists and turns????:rotfl: Although Fulham is situated north of the river - it is still SOUTH London! Ha ha ha! The Thames flows through the south of London! I bet you've never even visited London!:p
That's made my day!:D
I said it wasn't 'south of the river'. And I do know the river twists and turns...that would be the wibbly wobbly bit.
However, I am glad to have made your day.
I've never visited London, as I live there.0 -

It just seemed odd that after jenner stated that night buses go as far as zone 6, you complained that they didn't go to Cambridge, which is a fair way outside zone 6 by any stretch of the imagination!0 -
How late do the trains run to Cambridge from Liverpool Street?0

I used to jump on the train at wandsworth common, strictly zone 3 despite only having a zone 1-2 pass (as there was no barrier)
Saved myself a few pennies over the years0
