Life goes on and so does the show and all of that including the 2 queries which is what we're about to commence with a query from Addie in Stroud green. Good morning well that and you ready for Christmas yet oh my scanner. So tell us your query so I'll go quite Christmassy what. Happened to time with marks and section yesterday yes I listen to listen again and I would have one yesterday thank you he was talking just a guess but he didn't hear it was talking about the big Christmas stews that they used to how the factories in. Well I got it well I thought my Christmas due to I went he was actually at my aunties were like my aunt and my cousin Jane a and they were. Saying the goats Misho I'm from the I just 5 to 10 I went to my fabulous Christmas party the goats Misho It was incredible. And at the green shoots . It was quite we grew up in south east London and it was you know it's so completely different talk it was amazing and so woodland on the lake but on the base and then it coming true and that was the key change. But I learned of another one recently though I never attended services went to Cleary. So. A little while ago actually November I went c.t. You know the mail route. Yet which I haven't seen is good I did it I think I can with my brother we went round went on the little try and it was great because it's Ok. Marriages could only carry Maddow and they have been now converted into that all glass top American diet yet today if you go inland I think it's a nix frustrates me when the straight so you go in that there's news and and so I've been into that and I've been mount on the Mal Brough before and then this amazing opportunity to come out that was it's like a hit in London events so I think they're doing more next year where you can go whoa care after it's closed well with the grape v.a. So friend and I went along and it was problems 2 groups is quite you know where we subscribed just like I said it's a bit like a hit in London event but not hit Nandan and there's probably about 20 of us and our group has a 2nd guy around and we walked the loop that goes to the that the rail actually goes on out the writer would have gone from Paddington point down to more chapel but the bit that we walked went from Mount Pleasant and then you kind of coming out on the nation we are on the Xmas market and then you loop back around again as you do a fair bit. And they were expressing the you know we are talking waste questions and it could only have a hose hold mango in it in these little trains that when round except. For when that Christmas Day for the children really and apparently the children into it and they'd go round as a ride and then there was another aspect to it that stage did they go on at the platform they don't be loaded in apparently into these low carriages when the men would go in and they'd be taken around and one of the parents that were a heat source featured on one of the tunnels probably in luminous paint merely over the 12 Christmas and and that would light up spies a bit like a Christmas become strength as they went round the web and then it was what Iran will. He thinks I think he was a mention I got some donations from a film that was filmed on the touch of the hawk in the eighty's and I could use the money for not to watch Christmas Day for the children but it must have happened before and as they would come back around to take care of it the next plateau and Father Christmas but then I'm going for the Medicare so I mean it's a fantastic story but training Clark Well so we can just if anyone attended it really just anything and just briefly thinking about Christmas Day and stuff and different ones that we would all go to as children and it could have been in the seventy's I think probably moving to the 80s but they happened but just are there any children of g.p.l. Workers out there the state was particularly Mount Pleasant I don't think the parents have to work at Mt Pleasant but I think it could have been any original post office thought of this yes a g.p. I work with children did anyone ever go on a sub to write me and Christmas party is a great story on the ms Mount Pleasant and right on the on the Mio rose as a kid for Christmas and see for the an underground Father Christmas yes because the one that is quite flushing now that you get into bed is get lost on Grace but it would be a switch just meant for a while but basically said oh no is adamant no people allowed in except Christmas party let's see if we can find anybody Id What a lovely story so did you or anyone you know ever go to the Mt Pleasant subzero 1000000 Christmas parties for kids of post office workers and why don't the Mireille So that's the 1st query of the day the next one comes from Adam is down in Kent Hello Adam. Very well it is the us is a postcard query. To relay ago and now and the query a lot more at the listeners Yeah southward to say you know in years and enjoy walking around there and a guy best parliament is probably now is to always look up yet when. Those to say last say out there anyway 2 years ago in a focus a few years ago when I was up in the shortest area walking ramp a crowd I know now is street signs on a few of the road said. Just a letter unknown number and a full to myself Surely this can't be the epicenter is a Sunday a just in a. City street signs there all the side impair their white with black 18 and black black nines and name a rate lettering on it a name a star and I was in a few others west London south east London and some of these are really fine straits and Commercial Road sounds awful so strange that we would be carried along everywhere everyday life that not might be realizing they didn't have a number only on the postcards so I was a size 2 father 1st of all the queries why why Final Call number one and secondly the Nazis can we make up a method on them all stays at the center is of no faced south and west so they just would have said for example commercial road it would take them a road so that's why it won't take a walk or the word because when you say a postcard a postcard is very specific to do like a little bit of history but you may want to have the number of the our leaders correct I live in n.w. One and it would just say n.w. Or would it just siad. Table Jeff Well it was well this is discovered a come from Sassy something I see 10 and I was an illusion about 6 numbskull and I went down a side street just by chance and there it was s a n o s e no one solutions are but some of them I see no no no no no no days ones of same yet I only have the letter in one number in so se right for example I mean these particular streets some instead of a street sign is obvious traits what I have se 7 or. More interest in the same area yeah yeah so when I looked at Shoreditch cyberspace Child Line areas you know done strain is one of them. That just a on it yet you won't mind they sustain 10 minutes so long and you say there is a number in on it as well so why does it say there are no i have no idea why the some street signs just have the letters of north south east west the north and the numbers whereas others have the number of the of the postal code a reraise the query they got I don't know another is that make up the math of London where these are very interesting. That you might have to leave to self why does some street signs just have the lettering so no end for North se to se w. For West and I presume s.w. As well there must be s. W. S. . And yet others have the number of where they post Cody's that's the query that we've got met so we got to now we've got one did anyone ever go to a sub to run him Christmas party. The the so in office of Mount Pleasant and why don't the runaway. Why does some street signs only have the numbers and the next query which ties in very closely to yesterday's show comes from fuzzy and fuzzy. Yet very well indeed so this Yours is about is it the Keynesian clearly because we were talking about Dickens yesterday and now until I just. Absolutely fantastic all of the twists Stilnox and also I really like it it's weird because it was a race and they saw these miracles and yeah about 2 weeks ago you had to toss around some other I mean like. Yeah some are so fine on a minute it's just some say 94 because there's a Kasra net log out so well it's like having. But this is near It was also the 1st one. Which was there was so I guess well where all the. Wrote Well if you. Suffer for it sub base road junction of think it's me just take us to Stanford story area. So sore around that area Union Street that's a good question as well see got union straight and then go all quite Guilford So you got that junction he got union straight and quite Guilford Street yet which is a Tony Roche I was under 'd a bridge over and. Over I was as you know quite tall in a. And yes so this this this is this is on the junction of Guilford and the big I'm looking at it now it's a big black and white mirror and it looks like it's the only for a huge character is yes. It is absolutely yeah. That is one of only very good one of all over 8 named reply because it's a story so it's one of only to read in the vault of sight and then there's another one is there. Yet the other one is. As fightin an elf. And they must be the same because the white is the White Pine said you know the color is exactly the same. So the cruelty from a is you know. First of all you know them seen before so I've around a lot around the area but the mind thing I always think about is where's Olivia. Yet that's always going to be or am I don't you but yeah you're right where is only the we've got Where is a set or not it's Ok to walk around. So it's interesting. When you're really right when did you say to. Although I can say what she does just suddenly you know because it's all over in a cluster. So I can sort you wait a 2nd I saw my dear mom down in south we've got to mirror was that we know of one depicting Bill Sykes one depicting Feigin and the awful Dodger all over anymore so yeah you're right ways only and ways neighbor is only lost his nemesis and done them alland if they'd been a etc etc and sit there and go perfect query so we've now got 3 Crees we've got all of the tricks near use as we're going to insist on calling them down in Suffolk we've got 2 of them all there anymore they're really good at chili we put those up on Twitter so that you can see them whereas all of the there is there must surely if you're going to do all of a twist Muriel would you go there Olivia but so where easy and who's done them an alum of They've been never etc etc They really well painted then we've got Did anybody ever go to the post office Christmas party on the Mount Pleasant and ride on the submarine Ian royal and see Father Christmas on the ground so that's the 2nd query and main street signs Why does some street signs just have the s. And the end the s.w. And the whatever is just the Lexus for south north and east and whatever it might be and not the numbers so my story is n.w. One but the next state might just have n.w. What's the difference there. So that all the 3 queries of that I we've got one more career it's a column but that's going to come from a mix guest Mackenzie cook. Told Stevie Wonder I am what Christmas means to me Johnny's cab was just sent me in a mouse saying well the Meriel down on great Guildford Street now I'm presuming Grego Fisher is down in south that I don't know where great Guilford Street is also has another Muriel of the d.j. Danny Rampling What's the connection Well I can tell you what the connection to Danny Rampling and that bit of subject is or at least I'm assuming it's that bit of saw that is that that's where the 1st shooting was that was a day. His club was shooting which is really where if any were going on the how acid house thing kicked off in an old I'm presuming great Guildford Street is where the original shown was Am I right in that could I when we spot on about the 2nd or 3rd night I think. I'm up and the world was never the same again so. It would be very logical to have a myriad of Danny Rampling on the side of where the 1st shooting was was that on great Street that's what Johnny's cabbies by silly I think is sighing so I haven't seen the myriad of Danny Danny Rampling all I decide ones. That's what we'd like to know so we've got to Miriam who's from Oliver and one of the tiny rambling near each other what's the connection except that Danny Rampling Schumi is 1st club was in an old gym a tiny little spice. And I went down there on a Friday not just in the goatee I and as a said the world was never the same again so can we add that to our query also we got a query about Did anyone ever go to the Christmas party is that the post office Christmas party is under so in office with the trying and then street signs with no numbers just the Lexus. So let's not. Well that's not quite true actually. Hauser says there won't be any streets with just us or just any the other letters for part of the London postcodes but s. Was allocated to Sheffield and any was allocates a new car so were your correct but I'm pretty certain that there are certainly any because before Newcastle led it there wasn't any London postcode and then it changed so there could be any. But I know what you mean s. You don't get you don't get as you get se or s.w. . But so why have some of them just got the letters and not the numbers.
