Spent many a boozy night waiting at the Hanger Lane tube station, back in
the sixties...

Your reference to the North Circular Road reminded me of my favorite line
from "Beyond our Ken", a radio show on the Beeb in the fifties, for those of
you that don't have any grey hair, or are not from the "blessed plot."  They
were doing a sketch about King Arthur, who at one point sent his knights to
look for the Holy Grail etc.  Anyway, the line was:

"To the south, Sir Lancelot rode...  To the north, Sir Cular rode..."

Well, it seemed funny to a 10 year old (me!) at the time...
