I guess it falls to me to play the anti-luxembourg with Ampton Place.
It's a bit of a throwback but I've had success with it in the past.

Indeed it does, however the followup move that would be bad for me Halliwick Road isn't available because of the 1986 Revision number 2.
Because of that I think I'm ok.

I'll continue with my plan: Keel Close.

Doesn't revision number 2 only apply when you also allow huffing below the line, as per Cudlip's Amended Amendment Rules 1991?

Anyway, I can play dagenham heathway, which I believe toffs you.

That's true except in the case of the King George's Rules.
But you're right I was afraid of Dagenham Heathway.

Guess I'll have to play Wakeman's Hill Avenue.

Well for one thing these are meant to be London Underground stations.

Belsize Park.

Belsize Park.
Almost caught me out there - the natural move after Belsize Park being Baker Street, but since earlier Dollis Hill and no triangulation allowed am forced into the somewhat unsatisfactory Mansion House.

Pudding Mill Lane - unorthodox, but more interesting than the natural Chalk Farm.

Incidentally, how do we tell who is using outside assistance such as a tube map, for this game? If I want to play Mornington Crescent that way, I can buy an A-Z and play at home. I trust we are all honest in this thread.

Presumably I can now invoke Stovold's second amendment to the 1972 convention? If so, then performing Brandelmeyer's slip, we go to Shadwell.

Or can I not do this because the convention predates the Jubilee Line extension? Sorry, am relatively new to the game and still learning!

Don't worry everyone has to start somewhere. Your concerns are unfounded however, and your move is valid.
I do believe you have shown you nievety with Shadwell move however, and I counter with Piccadily. Hah!
