In 1926, Peterkin Custard's "Real Eggs" claim came before a court of law, and found to be less than truthful.

There's more about this, and the wider Peterkin story, here:

As a result of sharing that article, the final pieces of the Peterkin puzzle fell into place ahead of being shared in Ghost Signs: A London Story. I've pasted the relevant section into the alt text of the second photo.

The projection has the #greens gaining control of no fewer than nine boroughs currently controlled by #labour . These are #brent , #greenwich , #hackney , #hammersmithandfulham , #hounslow , #lambeth , #lewisham , #walthamforest and #wandsworth . #labour retains control of two - #newham and #redbridge . Remaining boroughs are projected to be under no overall control. This would represent the weakest position for #labour in #london since the 1968 to 1971 period.

It could not possibly be that one of the two local authorities most affected - #wandsworth which is expected to increase #counciltax by 75% over two years according to estimates by the #ifs - may have had the temerity to develop an approach to the provision of #socialhousing and to the role of #privatedevelopers very different from that favoured by #stevereed - although that would be consistent with an article in the opinion section of the #guardian today. That is surely inconceivable!

Of the six local authorities affected one (the #CityofLondon ) is not under the control of any party. The #RoyalBoroughofKensingtonandChelsea is under #conservative control while the #RoyalBoroughofwindsorandmaidenhead is under a #liberaldenocrat administration supported by some residents' groups. The remaining three local authorities (the #CityofWestminster , #Hammersmithandfulham and #wandsworth ) are under #labour control. The majority of the population affected lives in these last three,

They should have drones next year, like north of the River did. The Ally Park drone display looked brilliant!

If you upset the animals in Battersea Dogs and Cats home Tom Hardy might come round...

Labour or Tory, I cannot tell the difference, both seemingly as shit and incompetent as each other, but then we're an incompetent nation, so....

For once I have a really good piece of local news to share. Residents of the #altonestate in #roehampton have noted overwhelmingly - a 82% yes vote - in favour of a wholly public sector regeneration scheme! This has to be regarded as a feather in the cap of the #labour administration in #wandsworth !😂
