Fair enough, but that's not Toronto. It's somewhere called Brampton or Mississauga or Etobicoke or something equally comical.

If you arrived at Heathrow and took a cab to central London, passing through the horror en route, would it be fair to characterize London that way?

No we get SR3. Show is classic.

(Seriously, the show was on when I was a kid and I listened to it religiously. I heard it has come back and will scan schedules to find it. Our's was a swedish version though, but hillarious. Stay on subject, last a minute, no repeating of words and no hesitation. Wit and intelligence to keep up was/is a must.)

If you arrived at Heathrow and took a local bus to Feltham station, you'd be tempted to take another bus straight back to Heathrow.
