ahhh, the Heathcliff-Barrington variation

I'm assuming double 7's mean the diagonal play extends only to the embankment then?

unless two or more players are in Dingle

or Double Card Dingle.

(I know it's obvious, but I always feel it's best to state these things fully)

well of course

but we all have our own MC card deck these days don't we? I don't think there is any need to lumber us all by including another set

Not quite

If you recall this is the 1932 championship edition with the Nerivsky modifcations around London Bridge and Archway to prevent jumping and cross ply-overs. I feel it's the most traditional mode, before Oysterifcation was introduced.

I believe Dave the Hat and I tried that in our 4th round heat at the East of England Armitage Shanks Charity Bowl finals

however, he knipped me in the embankment, and I proudly kicked him in Cock Fosters with a double parallel diagonal which made him Kings Cross.

I always try to get off before cockfosters

Prevents those tricky parental complications if you extend the game to Maidenhead......

My friend Samantha is a keen birdwatcher

and recently discovered that her garden is home to a pair of rare british birds.

I was overjoyed when she invited me to bring my binoculars around to have a gander at her great tits.
