Wallet with £120 left on seat, top deck of 253 bus in Clapton, Hackney. Picked up a few days later, fully intact from the TFL lost property office. Absolute Hell Hole indeed !

This cafe is run by Daisy Green, who, following a very dodgy tender process, have just been handed all the cafes on Parliament Hill, Golders Hill Park and Highgate Woods by the Corporation of the City of London.

£18 for a bacon and egg sandwich.

Just been up there - apparently they've been told to be out by the end of January, after 44 years. They're fighting hard, and really want people to sign this petition. Please spread it wide!

This stuff is honestly so far gone now, it would take a political generation to rebuild. And none of the incentives in British politics are taking us that way.

If you have the full map maybe Senete House finished in 1937 might give a clue and I'm sure there'll be something definitive to be found in the maps. Good luck.

Also doubt it would be published/updated after September 1939 and definitely not in 1940.

New Zealand had/have a system for diesel vehicles where you purchased "miles". You got a windscreen sticker with your purchased miles on and a fine if your mileometer exceeded the stickers milage.

They also possibly do a 2nd round of food after the game when those who went to the game get back.

Prince Edward, Parkhurst Rd N7. Old school local, no plastic glasses, always shows all the games and as a bonus during home games free chips and sausages are served at half time . Tolerates quiet away supporters.

I prosecute and defend the most serious sexual offences in our courts.

The overwhelming majority of offenders are British-born. Overwhelmingly the victim is someone known to them, either a partner or relative.

Anybody purporting to care about protecting women might start there.
