Farewell Ken Bates. Vivid memories of him coming on the pitch at Villa to try and quell a pitch invasion and getting picked up by the Chelsea fans who ran round the pitch with him on their shoulders before giving him the bumps.
Highly recommend a visit to the Museum Of Youth Culture to play their subculture themed table football machine.
The ‘new’ Brixton Franca Manca on the site of the old Wahaca has closed down - one of those cursed London sites that will simply have to become a Gail’s.
There were only two more books in Zola’s Rougon-Macquart series I really want to read, but I am only allowing myself to get them if I find them in charity shops. Found one of them today!
This is a very strange retelling of the Jack Sheppard story. Anybody read it?
Lovely. Very fond of this one I stumbled across on a chalet in a random holiday park in Scotland
Never seen a vox pop as suspiciously perfect as this comment from ‘Darryl’ on Taylor Swift’s trip to Croydon. But it’s from the excellent @londoncentric.media so I will take it on trust.
Not just a great sentiment but truly outstanding aim and pelvic floor muscle control.
Found my absolute favourite London sign at Chiswick flyover on Wednesday. 10/10 for everything.
The Grant Museum of Zoology is doing a renovation and giving away their old signage - my daughter snagged this one.
