No, Patrick, I am never brave
On the way to the W.C. last night the driver said that he had heard we
might stop at Norwood Junction.
I got off at Sydenham and went to Balham and thence to Sutton via Mitcham.
I do apologise to non-cartographers for this detail.
As we have recently had mud slides and broken trains, I interpreted
"incident" to mean something on the railway and had to guess that it was a
riot
Sydenham is an Overground station but they knew nothing. Was East Croydon
ok Dunno. Is the Bus Station OK Dunno. Tram Dunno.
In fact Diarrhea trains were stopping at Norwood and going through the
W.C. but no one told us that and no one knew what it was we were avoiding
So I made a long journey for nothing for lack of info
Thank you for your concern
