This image of The Slits by Terry Lott is apparently from a 'Photoshoot At Home Of Band Member In New Cross'. I've seen it dated from 1981 and 1987, former seems more likely as they split up in '82 - for the sake of my completist SE14 obsession, does anybody know who lived where?

As we move into “foreigners are cancelling Christmas in the name of political correctness” season it’s worth remember that Christmas was indeed once banned in England, by Christians and the man who enforced the ban has a statue in his honour outside the Houses of Parliament.

We have finally started our applications for our expansion and we need you! The first process of our expansion is getting an alcohol license for both 57 & 59 Beckenham Road, once this is approved we can move onto the change of use and then eventually open up next door.

Why does everyone keep calling it “The Epstein Ballroom?” Please stop repeating “The Epstein Ballroom” because it is not called “The Epstein Ballroom!” Don’t tell the news that it’s called “The Epstein Ballroom” and please don’t repost this!!!!!

The BBC are accidentally running the subtitles to Mrs Marple over the Mercury Prize, and it’s rather wonderful. A few of lines could plausibly have been written by Jarvis.

They didn’t just NOT give Trump the Nobel Peace Prize, they wrote a citation that reads like an anti-Trump rallying cry.

There used to be an "indice de performance" in the Monte Carlo rally, which rewarded the car which performed the best in relation to its engine size. In football, Oliver Glasner's Crystal Palace would win it almost every round of the PL. Chapeau.

In Crystal Palace’s all time history we have now won one more game that we have lost (1776 vs 1775), our goals for and against are equal (6642).
