Nah, it was Bombardier this time!

After all, they did used to make snowboards, and not falling buttons!

The children have been very naughty in those places.

I wonder what they've been doing in Barbican? :P
Whatever it was, the children of Moor Park ought to take note for next year!

Why is it called North Pole Junction?

Believe it was named after a nearby pub.

Surely one of the biggest though has to be Elephant and Castle? Not just hosting a tube station (Bakerloo & Northern), a Mainline station but also the area of South London surrounding it?

Or what about Nelson, Lancashire (population 30,000) where the station was named Nelson Inn, Marsden to avoid confusion with Marsden, Yorkshire and then the town finished up being called Nelson after the station which was named after the pub?
