Luton

Other times Luton came up

1. Actually, now I think about it, I think they have a good point there. It was in Luton. I think maybe they'd opened up in Luton. Mechabingo, I mean. I think there's quite a big Muslim population there and so there were lots of pressure there were bricks through the windows I'm afraid it all got a bit it all got a bit tense for a while but it is the holiest city in Islam but it's also the catchphrase and what it just meant was like this is a mecca for shopping or this is only idea was this is a mecca for dancing it just means this is somewhere you you go when you want to dance but obviously where does that word come from I suspect it comes from the fact it's the holiest city yeah so it led to say and they said right we'll change our name and then they didn't And 30 years later, it's fine.

3. Rename platform 1, platform 2. etc, et cetera, et cetera, you get to platform eight and nine, and suddenly platform nine and three quarters is in the right place. It's a great idea. You only have one week, probably, of people wanting to go to Luton and ending up in Glasgow, get on their own footplay. Then once that's happened a few times, people will get wise to it.
