Euston

Intriguing as it may be to find out what happened to the Arch, this post isn't about that.

It's also not about how "trains were hauled to Euston from Chalk Farm by ropes, the locomotives not being brought nearer town lest they should frighten the horses".

It's saying I have gone and signed the Manifesto.

Amen.
