298 Posted July 4, 2013 Share Posted July 4, 2013 For my Wife's 40th, I decided to commission a birthday cake from someone at work who makes them in his spare time and is always interested in a new challenge. As a surprise we decided on one of her favourite designs, the Holden stations at the southern end of the Northern Line. I supplied Dave with just a couple of photos of Tooting Bec, and he did the rest. I hope it tastes as good as it looks. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
metmangraham Posted July 4, 2013 Share Posted July 4, 2013 Had to say, 'that really takes the biscuit'! I remember buying a coffee maker for my wife on her 40th (long time ago). It was heavily rejected in spite of my plea that it made 20 cups! I hope your wife shares an enthusiasm for LU and Tooting! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
298 Posted July 5, 2013 Author Share Posted July 5, 2013 I hope your wife shares an enthusiasm for LU and Tooting! She does. I must add that it's not my influence, but Underground Architecture is a bit of a hobby. Modellers who come ot the house wonder why the bookcases in the lounge are full of Underground books , and are even more befuddled when I say they aren't mine... She's also just recieved "Tiles of the Unexpected" by Douglas Rose, "Underground Heritage" by Antony Badsey-Ellis, and " London Underground by Design", by Mark Ovendon.

Living in the far west of Wales I am well used to visitors drawing a breath when they see a 1960s LU layout, so I know how you feel when visitors come. At least, though, you will not get the quip along the lines of 'so, do you run the trains under the floorboards?'! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
