Hi folks, my wife is going to that there London Town on Saturday to see the ABBA show As we are simple north northern folk could one of you sophisticated city gents talk us through the procedure from Euston. Following extensive research we discovered she takes the Victoria line southbound to Oxford Circus then changes to the central line eastbound to Stratford.
Will she need to buy a ticket or can she just tap in and out with her debit card?
All WUMS welcome as long as I get a couple of sensible responses
Thanks in advance and is it compulsory to have curry on your chips? (She prefers gravy)

So many northerners on here. I rarely go as far south as the north.

Chips and curry isn't really a London thing. Much more of a northern thing, I would have thought.
I remember horrifying my London work colleagues with tales of half rice, half chips (with curry sauce) from Chinese takeaways up north.

I’d dip chips in curry sauce from the Chinese, but up north it’s more of a chip shop thing. I went to the University of Leeds, day one every facker was having chips & gravy (or chips with cheese & gravy) at lunchtime, was very disturbing to me. Meanwhile, I couldn’t get saveloy & chips for love nor money. Also, in northern chippies you only ask for fish & chips, and the fish is haddock. End of. Down south, or in London at least, you have to choose a fish - haddock, cod, plaice, rock etc.

If it was at Wembley I could have told you.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
We literally played you at Wembley 7 months ago.
Your wife can tap in with cardless on her phone or card Eric
----------------------------------------------------------------------
You can’t tap in with a bucket hat
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Did you pay for your own ticket Boris or did you get the Sheikh to pay for that as well?
😉

Worth every penny.

As a dyed in the wool Londoner I would say it’s fine to visit, but I wouldn’t live there now if you paid me. That despicable slag Khan has allowed it to turn into an absolute sh*thole.

Oh really? That is not a common thing in my experience, I’ve always thought it a weird thing about northern chippies.
