How well do you know the London Underground? Test your knowledge with this cool on-line game that was launched yesterday.
Look-for-longer is a quirky montage (see below) of puns that show 75 stations. So far I've identified 49. It's getting harder. See how well you do and report back to me in a few days. I'll be incredibly impressed with anyone who can do it in one day.

the rat with the cheese - leicester square.

Many thanks - 1 to go!!!
I'm sure it will be obvious when I see it - but, don't think I'd have got the rat/cheese.

My son and I got them all. The hardest was the glue, think what glue does to two items, and the Dog. Went through all the greens and I'd love to know how the first part is signified. The TV too was a problem but saying what the rope is doing and to what gives it.

Brilliant thanks.
Shepherds Bush, spelt like that.
What do you mean by Kings cross? The chess pieces? Or the shiny cross because that's New Cross.

Kings cross
Shepherds bush
Just type them in, Bobs yer uncle.

Yeah, sounds like you've hit a snag.
Maybe close the page and log back in again?
