How come, when everyone other London-ish Prem club is charging approximately 4 quid for a pie, Chelsea are only charging £2.50? :rubchin: Is Roman subsidising the pies? Or are Chelsea putting some really horrible shít in there? :-(

I doubt I will ever be there again, which is something of a shame.Quote:

Really? How weird. I do occasionally go via East Croydon, so might use it then.Quote:

You may take a train to Bromley South, then change for Beckenham Junction. At Beckenham Junction take tram no. 2 for West Croydon and get off at East Croydon. Tap in at the tram stop to pay your £1.50 but do not tap out. Any other advice you may need about public transport will be happily shared :thumbup:Quote:

You dragged your poor wife out to Rochester to pick you up because you got drunk? This is the act of a dastard, surely? What of God's honest taxi cab?Quote:
