What you mean that ramp thing near the MI6 building - visable as you come in from Clapham Junction way on the train?cdd wrote:What *is* that construction in the middle of the vauxhall cross. It looks like the Vauxhall Ski Jump to me!
And I strongly refute Barenit's comment about Vauxhall Tube Station. From experience, I can say it's just as clean as any other (admittedly that's not saying much) -- also, they've just installed sleek new gates that don't *SLAM* when you put the ticket in.
I too been wondering what the use of it is ... where is it actually situated? Is it right outside the station?
Perhaps it's a rather large rocket launcher for Al Qaeda.


Well because you need a cheap way of getting a great number of eels trapped in one place, so you don't have to catch them.Jenny wrote:I don't quite understand the bit about putting a dog in a sack in the river. It sounds like a very good idea, but what's it got to do with eels?TVDragon wrote:Eels make their own jelly you know. You put a dog in a sack, then in the river. Eggs are laid, the eels can't escape. Eels go into a salted pot -- jellied eels. Serve it with a gristle pie and green 'liquor' and it's a tasty meal out in Walthamstow.
The eels can lay their eggs in the dog carcass [are you with me], but the hatched eels cannot escape the sack.
You have to take your teeth out to eat them though apparently -- it's just etiquette. I know you wouldn't want to be caught out.
As for Vauxhall, I was thinking of the residential bit admittedly. But I believe Sarah Kennedy lives there, so I concede it is quite awful.
I found the filthiest tube station to be Seven Sisters personally. And I genuinely feared for my life there.
Please don't tell me about Seven Sisters, that station is revolting with shite.TVDragon wrote:Well because you need a cheap way of getting a great number of eels trapped in one place, so you don't have to catch them.Jenny wrote:I don't quite understand the bit about putting a dog in a sack in the river.

The reason there's no NE postcode in London is because it was needed for Newcastle. The same for S - that went to Sheffield

It's the roof to a Bus station, part of the redevelopment of the Vauxhall Cross roundabout. the area will look a bit like this:

Birmingham's tons better, if you avoid Aston on the way
