Move over, Ms L!

Hi all, wondering why you are looking at this jumbled up page? This is due to the fact that Facebook didn't like our url since it starts with wog, so we have been forced to move the blog. This was some time ago, and we have placed a script which would automatically send you to our new location. Obviously, this hasn't worked for all of you, since we have just finished moderating some of your comments which appeared on this site recently, and not on our new (and improved!) site. So what we're saying is head on over to our new site, and update your bookmarks!

Fun at the wrong Abbey Road

As many of you know, a new station opened on the Docklands Light Railway in London called Abbey Road - it's about 10 miles from the more well known Abbey Road crossing and studios. The station has been very confusing for unsuspecting Beatles tourists who suddenly find themselves on the outskirts of town.
Finally, London Transport reacted and put up a poster at the Abbey Road station to help the people figure out what had happened. It was an amusing poster, borrowing quotes from Beatles lyrics, and photos of the poster travelled the internet and went "viral" on Twitter.

Today, the cover band Bootleg Beatles went to Abbey Road Station to play a few songs, probably as a stunt for London's Time Out magazine. These are some of the photos Richard Porter, Beatles walking tour guide, took today.
Here they are at the 'wrong' Abbey Road! 
They later went to cross the 'Wrong' Abbey Road crossing!  
Here's Richard with the band in the final picture.
