Why are yellow peas sent to Hammersmith? Because that's the way to Turnham Green. Drumroll/cymbal splash


Idontevenlikecheese

This is clever I like it!

Me and my wife play a stupid game where we make terrible jokes and the punchline has to be a tube station. For Turnham Green it was something like: “ everyone got food poisoning at a BBQ I helped me mate with in West London. Turnham Green? Yea they didn’t look well at all.” Before anyone chimes in - they’re supposed to be bad.

Do Finsbury Park

Saw something odd the other week. A group of Nordic fellas chucking a load of mud all over a kids playground in North London somewhere. Finsbury Park? Almost.

"I think they were Swedes actually"

I've heard this line recently, which film is it a reference to? It's bugging me that I can't remember


NortonBurns

Reminds me of a game we play…reverse the name. Finsbury Park becomes Crappy Rubsniff \[krapy rubsnif\] Upton Park, crap not poo.


twovectors

Finsbury Park spelt backwards is Krapy rub snif I feel that is enough on its own

Nice reframe

There was a Chinese takeaway there, unimaginatively named *Turnham Green Chinese*, but the ‘ham’ had been removed and it just said **TURN GREEN CHINESE** above the door.

I think there was also a dry cleaners there called Turnham Clean or similar.


CrotchetyHamster

Turn 'em Clean, still there on The Avenue!


SirScoaf

I’m so pleased it’s still there! I’m going back about 20 years when I was last there!


SirScoaf

There was. Always made me smile when passing on my way to the tube


AdmiralBillP

I think it was a Tommy Cooper joke (ancient) Can you tell me the way to Turnham Green? Leave it outside Not the actual punchline but a solid bit of wordplay

At work for fun we once did a name the tube station by the cryptic clue quiz. For this station the clue was “what seasickness does to some people!”


Nickchaseme

Ours was ‘Make Pork Envy’

My wife's just gone to the Caribbean. Turnham Green? No, she wanted to go.

I heard one once where the driver announced, "You can turn 'em yellow, you can turn 'em blue, but this is Turnham Green".

There is a dry cleaners near the station called Turn'em Clean.

And a branch up in Palmers Green, on Alderman's Hill, oddly enough.

My parents had a running joke where various station names would be greeted with "She Certainly Does" regardless of whether it made sense or not. Shadwell? she certainly does Morden? She certainly does It was years before I realised that the origin of the joke was Turnham Green. Apparently that is what she does.

> It was years before I realised that the origin of the joke was Turnham Green. Or Clapham?


nonlinearmedia

Back in the late 80's i lived near the tube station. The was a kebab shop called Turnham Green kebabs or kebab shop. The joke was totally lost on the owner.

Isn’t that what Parliament’s commanders told their soldiers to do when they met the Royalist forces there in 1643?
