You should have visited! My Spanish folders have got "Robyn goes to COCK(fosters) School!" written on them in tippex, because a girl at County says my school can't be called Southgate if it's in Cockfosters.

And to think that those stops are all squashed up, too!

She has such class.
Wait, what the hell am I on about?!

My schoolbooks are just covered with doodles. My German folder was particularly impressive.
Had to spend ages fending of those who wished to draw phallic symbols on my books though.
My teacher walked past and shook her head at me, like I'd asked for it!

Are they? Dammit!

Phallic symbols, or just giant cocks?

What about the insides?

Both. It's a weird school.
The insides as well Aaron!

They are on the map, I mean. The key principle of Beck's map is that the central, essentially most 'common' and important area, is all stretched out to make things easier to see, whilst the outer parts of the map are squashed together 'cos they're not so important, and don't have numerous connections.

Oh. Good then?

Good boy, good boy. My French books were always more than 50% taken up with random doodles, sketches, and patterns.

Cockfosters, or the map?

Pfft maps...made for men with no sense of adventure.
Oooh, I love on the tube to Cockfosters (can't remember which line), it says on the rolling digital display inside "This train is for Cock", if you look away at the right time. Which I do. Lots.

I don't know. Just good. I was a bit bowled over by your lengthy explanation of the map.

Piccadilly, innit. I shall remember to look out for that!
