1 #r1r9rNrcrqr
1 "Why do people not like The Barbican?"," ","Despite The Jester's enthusiasm for moving DELTA 4 HQ to the complex (as soon as it is financially possible), other D4S minions view the place with contempt."," "
1 "While on the subject of the station, it is in a dark corner of this very place that British Telicom appear to be carrying out a frightening new plan."
1 "What more can we say? If you eat anywhere in London, eat there!","#"
1 "We are not going to say anything about the really obvious thing here, the thing everyone talks about (you know, Houses of ... yes, that's right) because quite frankly we're trying to get away from politics."
1 "Walking round Soho is a brilliant way of spending a few hours. All the shops manage to say the same thing in a different way, some even resorting to a girl speaking in French on the pavement. Everything imagineable can be bought here and there's even the odd ""manly"" shop for those with a taste in ""Cowboy"" clothes."
1 "WESTMINSTER"
1 "WEST HAMPSTEAD"
1 "WATERLOO STATION"
1 "VICTORIA COACH STATION"
1 "Unspeakably drab, save for the occaisional pilaging party of D4S vikings, this small road's only pretty feature is the view it commands of Soho Square across the road."," "
1 "Under the shadow of the truly obtrusive theatre, (which some thought would be showing ""On Your Toes"" ad infinitum) and across from the Robin Of Sherlock toilet (which a certain D4S minion stood beside and drew at 7.00 am, getting many funny looks in the process!) is Wendy's."
1 "Two of the D4S fraternity found the sacred spot on this busy street wherein resides the HQ of Bronski Music."," ","Going there was a whim but several photos were taken and it may well prove that this will be a location in a future DELTA 4 adventure!","#"
1 "Traversing the hideous wastes, the two wise persons did enquire at a lowly Post Office as to where they might find the passage."
1 "Trafalgar Square:- the best place in the whole of London to receive Festive Greetings from the friendly bird population of this great city!"
1 "This wonderful establishment doesn't even serve chips and by painting on the mortar first, the interior designers have made the imitation brickwork pitifully obvious."
1 "This place puzzles DELTA 4."," ","Why, if Sloane Rangers are so upper class and up market, is this station such a mess?","#"
1 "This is not the sort of place you want to spend most of Sunday waiting for a coach in.","The stretch of road from Victoria tube station to the coach station is the most sprinted-along part of London in DELTA 4 reckoning."
1 "This has nothing to do with London whatsoever."," ","We only include it because Martin Croft mentioned it with undisputed profoundity in a features aricle for PCW."
1 "There is ancient D4S proverb which say,"," ","""Heed the warnings concerning the scream of The Desperado."""," ","It was a busy Thursday morning and 4 of us were crowding towards the ticket barrier, having just come off the Winchester train.","It was then that The Desperado screamed. Heads turned, people nursed their ears and the crowd moved away leaving a gap all round us (the closest sound to this scream is a guard's whistle crossed with a voice)."
1 "There are an alarming number of chemists on Oxford Street, we noticed while out searching for balloons one day. There is also one particularly amusing novelty shop who's window engrossed The Jester and his graphic designer for some time."
1 "The stairs get rather dodgy near the top, so impress your friends by not being scared of the horrific drop.","Also, be careful who's behind you when climbing those stairs, we've done it and we know the dangers!","#"
1 "The only really horrible thing about Stratford is just outside the shopping centre, near the bus stop for Carpenters Road. Innocently slotted in between several perfectly harmless shops, it lies. Enter (as they say) at your own risk!"
1 "The graphic designer promptly asked for a few stickers and made off with them for the Helbourne Mouse grotto, there to apply them liberally over a TV showing the Lord Of The Rings video.","Olympia is a marvellous place, though. The bars are brilliant even if the tube station is not."
1 "The funniest AP memory though was not in winter, though a Microfair it was.","It was the end of the day and we were packing up our stand. In the car park, Christian Penfold was putting on his trousers. A Volvo was reversing."
1 "The Wendy's though, is not really so good as the one at Cambridge Circus and the McDonalds seems to be permanently busy!","The Virgin Games Store had plenty of copies of ""Bored"" but even that was not so fabulous as the Virgin Megastore."
1 "The Jester has 2 memorable experiences from Leicester Square."," ","Overlooking the square is a very pleasant Kentucky Fried Chicken, where he and his graphic designer had a very nice meal and discovered that there is neither a manly or lady-like way of eating chicken.","Also, this very square is the haunt of a badge seller, from which DELTA 4 purchased 2 CND badges. Sadly, he had no ""Bomb the ba****ds"" badges to go with them."
1 "The Jester and the graphic designer visited Kings Road, Chelsea. However, it is so drab and uninteresting that we're not going to say anything more about it!","#"
1 "The End."
1 "TRAFALGAR SQUARE"
1 "THE BARBICAN"
1 "STRATFORD"
1 "ST PAULS"
1 "SLOANE SQUARE STATION"
1 "Result: The Jester arrives at W. Hampstead station and goes to phone for someone to pick him up.","Gets to phones and finds only phone-card phone working.","Thinks: ""Must get a phone-card thingy.""?","Not likely, BT! We know what you're up to!","#"
1 "RICKMANSWORTH"
1 "RATHBONE PLACE"
1 "Probably The Jester's favourite bit of London. In his opinion, nothing beats walking slowly along the river bank in early evening.","#"
1 "Piccadilly Circus is one of those places that defy description.","On the ""Bored"" press release, the D4S mob ambled down Shaftsbury Avenue to here, before stiking off up a side street to Argus Towers, Golden Square (then home of Home Computing Weekly)."," ","Not a place we visit often, but worth seeing.","#"
1 "Pi*za Ch*f is not the sort of place you would want to take your friends to. Not unless they were a fairly poor bunch of friends, who had cast iron stomachs and didn't mind being sick for a few weeks after."
1 "PICCADILLY CIRCUS"
1 "Out of the car they spewed, only to see the Piman stand up, utter ""Get's 'em every time!"", and collapse helpless to the ground in gales of laughter.","You had to be there!","#"
1 "Only visit if you want a back issue of YS.","#"
1 "One of the funniest sights of the show was, in fact, busily promoting ""Bored Of The Rings"". Richard from SilverSoft, suitably dressed as Grandalf in Wizardous garb, wandered about the stalls giving out ""Bored"" stickers."
1 "One of London's true beauty spots, Stratford is actually quite a jolly little suburb. It's station is much frequented by DELTA 4 minions and the nearby shopping centre has a WHS, well-stocked with ""Bored Of The Rings""."
1 "One fact, however, emerged from our recent Hit-Squad interview with Sinclair User.","Chris ""Ducados"" Bourne has never got off the tube at Pimlico, though his brother has."
1 "One experience not to be missed however, is to drive round the square, when it is busy, in an ailing Peugot doing about 50. Vivid memories of falling cyclists and high speed reversing spring to mind as, no doubt, they will to yours if you have ever done this. Remember, though, to ask a grown up to help you with this!"
1 "One day a DELTA 4 president got off the tube at Baker Street, having decided to stroll along to 221b and see where ol' Sherlock had called his cabs from."," ","It is indeed dreadful that the street in real life is nothing like the street in the game."," ","If Holmes was alive today, he'd probably turn in his opium den!","#"
1 "Oft have we wandered to 12-13, rung the bell and ascended the countless stairs that wind upwards to the topmost turret of this fortification.","Despite the frequent attempts of mad battalions of lettuces to block the way, the Sunshine building remains open, well, and suitably close to Wendy's (see: Cambridge Circus)."
1 "OXFORD ST"
1 "Next day over breakfast, he thought with the friend what job title best fitted her. Eventually deciding on ""Graphic Designer"" they made their way to Olympia and enjoyed the second trade day of the show."
1 "NEW HORTICULTURAL HALL"
1 "Many's the time that The Jester has come crashing through the great crowds of old ladies who always seem to gather in the way if you're in a hurry."," "
1 "Many kinds of padded doggy-basket were tried on as hats but none of the right colour could be found."," ","Perhaps, some time in the future, The Jester will return to Harrods.","#"
1 "Let's face it. Harrods is depressing. Many moons ago, The Jester walked round it happily but not now.","Harrods is the one shop that makes you feel both poor and inferior just for being near it!","The graphic designer thought that the pet department was very cruel, with sad little animals kept in really small cages. The pet accessories department was hilarious though."
1 "LITTLE NEWPORT STREET"
1 "LEICESTER SQUARE"
1 "KINGS YARD"
1 "KINGS ROAD"
1 "Just don't even ask!","#"
1 "J & D saw hippo Jeff Minter at Waterloo one night (11:45pm-ish) while eating some dubious creations from the station burger bar, The Casey Jones."
1 "Instead of seats, one leans on padded thingies arranged round small tables.","DELTA 4 tip: Buy your food, get on the train and stuff yourself there in comfort!","#"
1 "In the winter, it was a long, frozen trudge through the snow from Wood Green tube station and up through Alexandra Park. There is no doubt, however, that the best Ally Pally experience was having a stand at the Microfair. Wearing official trendy badges and using the small, side doors gave great satisfaction."," "
1 "In a desperate attempt to get people to buy phone-cards, they are doing the following:-","They install one phone-card booth, then (and this is the really cunning bit!) they completely vandalise all the coin phones!"
1 "If you missed the PCW show this year, make a point of attending next year!","#"
1 "If our royalty payments succeed in nullifying our debts, you can be sure of a D4S spending spree in this magnificent record store."," ","Oxford Street. THE place to buy silly hats.","#"
1 "Home of The Communards and, more importantly, The Adventurer's Club (call 01 794 1261 for details). This area differs greatly as you travel through it. The Cricklewood side is very pleasant; quiet, secluded and usually sunny. The station side is less enticing, the main lure coming from the small kiosk beside the ticket window."
1 "Hidden somewhere in the back streets near Victoria station, this is the new home of the ever-fabulous ZX Microfairs. Although it's quite a bit smaller than Ally Pally, the same ZX family spirit lends a cheery air to the place."," ","See you there at the next Microfair!","#"
1 "Heathrow is a fabulous place to get lost in. Great fun can be had by exploring all the little passageways and the lifts in Car Park 3 are a constant source of entertainment."," "
1 "Having said this, though, we do hope that you will not be put off and will indeed pay them a visit.","Just don't say we didn't warn you!","#"
1 "Have you ever picked up a copy of Your Spectrum and wondered where it is put together (the written material, not the pages!) ?","Have you ever wanted to know the location of a company publishing Sam Fox piccies ?","Where might you end up if you turned off Oxford St ?","Where does Uncle Clive Sinclair live ?"," ","The answer to at least one of these questions is, of course, Rathbone Place."
1 "Have you any idea just how easy it is to get people into the PCW show on the trade days?","The Jester was there on the first day and decided to bring someone else along the next day. Pausing only to cadge a trade pass from someone, he flew through the doors and was gone."
1 "HIGH STREET KENSINGTON"
1 "HEATHROW AIRPORT"
1 "Golden Square is pleasant, not very pleasant, but pleasant."," ","Apart from mentioning that Number 1 is reminiscent of the Temple Of Zuul, we will say no more!","#"
1 "GOTHAM CITY"
1 "GOLDEN SQUARE"
1 "For wierdos, there is yet another of those little toilet boothettes (see them in game 3 of Robin Of Sherlock!) and nearby lurks the NCP car-park which also puts in an appearance in the game.","#"
1 "For those unfamiliar with the place, Kings Yard is the home of both SilverSoft and CRL."," ","Guided tours of the SilverSoft offices are available now at only `5 per person (phone 01 985 5614 and ask for Richard)."
1 "For some strange reason, almost any D4S trip to London involves Westminster. The Jester & Desperado always walk back to Waterloo across Westminster Bridge after having tea at Wendy's and Big Ben often draws us just to look up and argue about whether it should have been re-painted or not."
1 "EMBANKMENT"
1 "Despite the exciting nature of this information, please remain calm.","#"
1 "DELTA 4 motto: ""Always leave at least 3 minutes to get from the entrance of the coach station to the actual coach!""","#"
1 "DELTA 4 fact: The little orange flashing lights used at roadworks on Westminster Bridge are very difficult to remove.","#"
1 "DELTA 4 Software would like to apologize for the small size of this bonus program. For all you teletext fans awaiting Sceptical II, do not give up hope! Sceptical II is coming."," ","So, lock your dog in the coal shed, shut your bedroom door and dim the lights. In that environment, you'll be in the ideal mood for the program when it does arrive!"
1 "Craftily hidden between a restaurant and Leicester Square tube station, Lil' Newport Street, apart from leading between some very drab buildings, is the home of a camera shop (who's window fascinates certain photographic members of D4S) and also of Popular Computing Weekly."
1 "Consider the situation from the driver's point of view. He is reversing towards Mr Penfold when the said Penfold shrieks in bloodcurdling agony and falls out of vision behind the car.","The Jester could see Chris was unhurt, lying on the ground laughing, but the concerned occupants of the Volvo could not."
1 "Chiswick is a very drab place indeed. Scantilly equiped with one, lonely McDonalds and the aforementioned Wimpy (neither of which supply Vegeburgers for the vegetarian needs of one of us) we can only recommend the pub, said by those who know of such things, to supply many unusual beers."
1 "Carnaby Street, home of trendai, outlandish shops (see: Kings Road). One can buy exciting trousers, as worn by one of the members of DELTA 4, for varying prices at varying times as the money thieving personages who run these establishments try to extract every penneth you hold in your sweaty little paw."
1 "CHISWICK"
1 "CARNABY STREET"
1 "CAMBRIDGE CIRCUS"
1 "Busy, busy, busy. These are the three words which can be safely used to describe Oxford Street if you are ever in a hurry to walk any distance along it. We will relate some of the more notable events that feature DELTA 4 and this prominent thoroughfare."," "
1 "Beware though! Heathrow is the most difficult place in London to buy a can of Coke/Pepsi or whatever.","#"
1 "Back in the good ol' days, when the D4S mob were still at school (late 1984, actually!) there was a school trip to London, including St. Pauls.","We urge you to go to the top of this historic old fossil, the view from there being incredible."
1 "BUT! A certain method called bartering can often bring the price down."," ","Redeeming feature: it is a good place to purchase a cup of coffee and there's a very nice martial arts centre if you are ""into"" that sort of thing (as that same member of DELTA 4 is)."
1 "BAKER STREET"
1 "As well as tasty food, it's also a quiet, respectable place (well, except when DELTA 4 visit) and, for the hygenically minded, it's nice and clean."
1 "As all avid fans of ""The Guide"" know, it was here that Fenchurch finally understood what had been going wrong all these years."," ","One day, in the not too distant future, D4S will be making a pilgrimage to the cafe, in the hope that it will enlighten us as well!","#"
1 "And so after many moments journey, they came to a pub in a far off place, The Barley Mow by name, and just opposite the Wimpy bar. Seeking high and low, they soon spied the way and came to the offices of the magnetic magazine."," "
1 "An extract from the Chronicles of Dogmass.","Yea and verily, it did come to pass that the great hierarchia of DELTA 4 did take it upon themselves to visit the obeliskine offices of 16/48. And unto Chiswick did they come and they didst allight upon the platform of Chiswick Park underground (though it is not) station."
1 "Although bits were described by Jon (see: Sceptical) as being ""Sleeze Holes"", it is indeed a most entertaining place to walk round.","A favourite D4S Soho gag is to walk up to a woman on a street corner wearing a fur coat and ask her if she thinks the mail order business is dead....","#"
1 "Although The Jester has passed Pimlico tube station in a grotty Green-line coach, and despite the fact that The Desperado has seen a film about Pimlico, neither of us know much about this mystic stop on the Victoria line."
1 "All things considered, a worthy place to visit."," ","And who knows... if you wait for long enough, you may just catch a glimpse of the Grand Elf himself!","#"
1 "All in all, not a centre of world importance, unless you are a beer expert or a 16/48 hunter."
1 "Alexandra Palace and Alexandra Pavillion enjoy a truely magnificent position, high on a windswept hill overlooking London. Home of the ZX Microfairs back in the old days, it was a favourite haunt of DELTA 4 persons.","Who can deny the great pleasure gained from hurling missiles at the Piman?"
1 "Actually, if you ignore the fact that the chips are too greasy, the food is not bad at all, and the prices are very good for a station. The only really awful thing is the seating, or should that be leaning?"
1 "ALLY PALLY"
1 "A great game to play here is ""Vigilante"". One person armed with a sawed-off shotgun follows the yellow line through the centre, and when he sees one of the other players, he blows their head off (don't try this at home, kids)!"," ","Are you familiar with The Barbican?","Why not write to DELTA 4 and give us your views on this controversial place.","#"
1 " ","So, until we see you again, good luck!"," "," ","The Authors:"," ","The Jester","&","The Desperado","#"
1 " ","Next to the ol' Telecom Tower, Trafalgar Square has probably the most prominent of obelisks, Nelson's thingy. Walking about the base of this is a most hazerdous affair, with the guns of a hundred animal rights supporters just waiting to burst into life when you tread on a pigeon."
1 " ","For those poor individuals who do not know, Cambridge Circus Wendy's is, in our un-biased opinion, the best eating establishment in the galaxy (yes, it's even better than the Kiosks in Waterloo station). Eating a hamburger there, is an experience not to be missed. Before you turn vegie, GO THERE!"
1 " ","An added attraction is a very pleasant pub across the road, and a trip along the canal is not to be missed."," ","For further details of Kings Yard and why you should be there, write to: Kings Yard Information, The Shieling, New Road, Swanmore, Hants SO3 2PE enclosing a large SAE.","#"
