I shan't be entitled to a Coinless Nice Song for my commute home from
Large Eva (or Eager Val) to Dim Fond Bladder after 30th. April. I'll have
to buy a Peachy Danglies instead.

All this reminds of that British Gas public awareness TV advert
campaign of 20-25 years ago that showed someone/something leaping from
town to town with a burning torch lighting beacons to the tune of some
jingle of alliterative place names like Aberystwyth to Aberdeen,
Barmouth to Bannockburn, Criccieth to Cromer and so on. Perhaps someone
could come up with a similar tube map tune ... real and anagramatical
(does that word exist ?)

I'd says so. You've rearranged the letters to form other words (even if
they're not in the OED!).

I first heard about Krapy Rubsnif from Humphrey Lyttleton on 'I'm Sorry
I Haven't A Clue' and have called it that every since.

The anagramming of Bow Church must've stretched the capabilities
somewhat.
