Language
The human race is endowed with language; Chomsky, Pinker and the rest revel in the novelty. Humans are unique in their ability to construct language at a rate of knots!
Shepherd's Bush Station is Closed
There are plenty of signs in Wood Lane to let you know that Shepherd's Bush Station (on the Central Line) is closed. I am not sure who will benefit. Most pedestrians will now be aware, and motorists will hardly care. The buses that drive past could have some passengers on the top deck who remain blissfully unaware.
Is this just some weird public relations sop from Westfield, who paid TfL to shut down the station for eight months to accelerate the project?

Tick the Boxes
Enjoy a Sunday at a J D Wethersoon's pub by first ticking the boxes... and don't forget your table number.
J D Wetherspoon have so many rules, and you must obey. Shame that they often fail to obey the law of land by serving short pints.

Abbey (Link) ATM
It goes much deeper than that. This is the ATM that used to be part of my local Abbey branch, but the Abbey moved out. This is now a "credit union" and since it is not a full Abbey Branch, the ATM does not accept deposits.
Abbey opened a big office in Canary Wharf which I use most of the time.
A few months before Abbey left the building, I opened an Abbey Business Banking account, which is run through the ATM or by post (no transactions allowed at the counter). When I opened the account, I was happy in the knowledge that this ATM was very close to my home, and hence deposits and other transactions could be made easily.
And this was long before Abbey National was taken over by Santander
