South Atlantic Rules

Cliff, I think you have made a school boy error on this one mate and
left me wide open to win. You see, because Eastbourne is in the
Southern hemesphere you have to go anti clockwise around the high
pressure. Therefore starting at Notting Hill will do you no good!
I would, if I was to entertain playing this foolish game, start in
Kensigton High Street, giving me a direct route to Mornington Crescent
via Hyde Park Corner and the Old Kent Road.

Better luck next time my friend.

I beg to differ with you both but if is playing by blogging online rules then surely one should play the beatifully creative Brighton handicap
"With skilful use of the lateral shift, a player can box their opponents in or out of the game. However, it should be noted that once Tooting Bec has been declared, this move is not allowed unless two or more players are in Knip."
Over to you I think an maybe Daren you have declared too early?

I would disagree with you both as youforgottent this one, I would of course of opened with the Brighton handicap
"With skilful use of the lateral shift, a player can box their opponents in or out of the game. However, it should be noted that once Tooting Bec has been declared, this move is not allowed unless two or more players are in Knip."
I believe nobody has declared Tooting Bec yet!

Oh Dai, not that old chestnut! If you were to be playing as we are by the South Atlantic Eastbourn rules you would notice that me and cliff are not actually in a knip and by cleverly starting at Kensington High street I have obviously declared Tooting Bec as a maater of course. In advanced play, one does not have to bother with such minor 'out loud' declarations.! you are in breach of the 'stunt' rule. You were lucky not to get a ban!

not wishing to be too picky, or even a little competitive, by being the first to declare with the said Notting Hill Gate, even allowing for the 'anti clockwise high pressure', the next player (Daren) sadly misses a turn, and having now declared all your fiendish intentions, there is still time for Dai to play Bayswater or even Edgeware Road. Your plan could have worked if you had declared RouteMaster 42, series options.
Sorry!

Sorry to be slow Daren, but what was it you were saying about the Old Kent?
