Geoff:
I privately emailed one of this morning's posters who referred to the 
programme about the anarchic rules. Your comments re Caledonian Road 
apply equally to Mornington Crescent; it's a grotty area.

Two points however. I suggested that Camden Town was perhaps a bit 
more than twenty minutes from Kings Cross for a group of people who 
would be moving more slowly than an individual and Caledonian Road is 
slightly further out. I was also working on the premise that they 
were using the Northern Line en route to the MoM and Caledonian Road 
is on the Piccadilly Line.
