The Oxo.

who's there?

So…. Landed?

Back to earth.

What would you do next?

Leave the airport, head to the big city.

Taxi? Train? Shank’s Pony?

Bus.

Where to?

The only London Tube Station whose name shares no letters of the word ‘mackerel’.

That reminds me - did you know that The London Tube is known as Oxo in cockney rhyming slang?

No I didn’t.

Then what?

Shank’s Pony through the streets; across THE zebra crossing on Abbey Road (editorial note t) - just because you can - and into the park.

Evening will be dropping.

Yep, so stop at George’s Fish Bar and get a paper-full of fish ’n chips.

You have to, don’t you?

Once. Every trip.

Would you say you are nostalgic?


Not like I used to be.
