The Abbey Road poster is brilliant! I feel fine knowing that TFL are so helpful . . .

Loved no. 4. But they missed out: 1 reason why the DLR is not better than the Underground. It's not the Underground.  |

But number 20... the underground has:
"One did not simply tap in at Morden."

But number 20... the underground has: "One did not simply tap in at Morden." I don't quite understand this reason. The original article's #20 is an internet meme taken from Lord of the Rings film where Aragorn says "One does not simply walk into Mordor". The meme is to vary the writing on a still of the film from that scene, e.g. One does not simply [do something]. For those not familiar with LoTR, Mordor is a very evil place indeed and the pronunciation of Mordor used in the film rolls the R's, much as some people on the PA do for Morden. The underground has a station much closer to the original meme and is therefore better than the DLR. |

I hadn't thought about the potential confusion over Abbey Road. The TfL poster at the end of the top 20 is such a deft bit of humour and help to the average tourist like me
