Don't get lost in the Winnersh Triangle

I have always been intrigued by 'Winnersh Triangle'. It's called out as one of the stations on the Twickenham to Reading line. It sounds so exotic, reminiscent of 'The Bermuda Triangle'. Does anyone get off there? Does anyone ever come out of it again? I was discussing this with friends and we were thinking we would have to visit Winnersh Triangle to find out what it’s really like. We could take a triangular picnic, sandwiches cut diagonally, Toblerone, Doritos, Bass Beer and pizza slices. On the train we would read about Euclidean geometry while wearing tricorn hats. Every statement would have to involve three main points and we would have to wait until 3rd March 2009 to visit.

This started a whole new concept of days out, because after the excitement of the Winnersh Triangle, we could visit Russell Square with square crisps and play dice games on 4th April.

The next place would have to be the Pentagon on 5th May 2010, and apparently there is a shopping centre somewhere helpfully called ‘The Hexagon’ (must eat honey off the comb).

Not sure whether there is anywhere called Heptagon, but you would have to pay for the trip using only 50p bits.

Going off at a tangent, Piccadilly Circus could be visited on 22nd July using the Circle Line and we could eat Chocolate Oranges. I think that’s my favourite.
