# If you recall those are only available...
in the non association games, this is an official set so spoon and knip are replaced

# 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)

# 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.
/turning into a samantha gag there

# 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.
