Just get a ticket with a + on it
It’s definitely better to not assume anything and point out potential gotchas. They could end up paying for two daily travel cards for one day (or more).

I have seen bookfair threads go all over the place but the intricacies of national rail ticketing structures is a first.
The cross sign is an indicator London underground can be used for a cross London transfer e.g if you are needing to cross London from one rail terminal to another during your journey. It is not a sign that you can just head for any tube station and use as a travel card.
However, it is worth noting Whitechapel is on the Elizabeth line as well as London underground so there may be through tickets available for Glasgow to Whitechapel at no extra cost as Glasgow to Euston or kings cross.
Fair enough.

Sorry it’s an old urban joke I believe
Anyway, doesn’t look like I’ll be about for it this year. But I’ll still keenly follow the thread for comedy shenanigans.
And which would be the obvious pub for everyone to fall out in?

Which is the one near Freedom? That one!
I think you can. Or you might have to change at Paddington.
Ah yeah, we agree then!

Would usually be quicker to get a GWR and change at Paddington but there is a direct every thirty minutes which takes 1hr 10minutes.

yes, subject to engineering work, technical failures and strikes, but the lizard line trains from reading are 'all stations' so it's probably a bit tedious.
it's not that far from proper trains to lizard line at paddington so probably quicker to change
not sure if its cheaper doing lizard line all the way. as far as fares go, it's neither quite national rail or underground...

I have a cheese grater in the dishwasher.
But that only comes into play when you use the Tudor Court Rules. Surely it’s Harry Beck play unless otherwise stated? Or did someone invoke the Whitechapel Protocol?

How do I change this 'custom title' thing then?
But weeks with an Anarchist book fair in them see Nid suspended obvs.

As it happens, ended up staying in Whitechapel while visiting London this weekend, and was staying near the White Hart, so I felt obliged to stick my head in out of a vague memory of it being hallowed anarchist ground, a bit like Barcelona or Exarchia. It is only just this minute that I've got around to looking it up and learning that there are in fact two pubs called the White Hart on the same street, I did think it seemed a bit odd that the pub famous for being next to Freedom was on the other side of Whitechapel tube. Also, the Blind Beggar is pricey as fuck but they do have some cats in, so you get what you pay for I suppose. That's the sum total of my advice to bookfair 2023 attendees. Oh, and the other White Hart did do a microbrew named after Rudolf Rocker, presumably marketed toward their audience of anarchists who'd got confused and went into the wrong pub.
The potential fun would be one group of annoyed activists angrily searching for the other in the wrong White Hart. Anyway, truth is usually better than fiction so I’m waiting eagerly for this year’s mishaps.

The bookfair people try to cater for everyone so sure there'll be a mishap or too for curmudgeons like you to applaud
