Out of the mouths of babes...Going southbound on the Jubilee Line, and a lady with her two-year-old daughter came onto the tube at Finchley Road. Now the names of Tube stations from there on in are really quite cute, whereupon the rather adorable 2-year old starts saying - 'Mummy - why is that Squish Cottage? Is it a Squishy Cottage?'
'No, dear - that's *Swiss* Cottage.'
'I think it should be called Squish.... St John's Wood? Who's John? And why does he have a wood? Does he like trees...? Baker Sweet...'
'That's *Street*, dear...'
'Where's the bread?'
They got off at Bond Street - but that sweet little conversation brought a smile to my face.
