Altar is a new music +more venue in Leytonstone. We will see. Before on the same site was the renowned Luna Lounge (image). A tough act to follow.

Bundesliga ad with Harry Kane in Ilford today. Trying to promote themselves as alternative (or complementary) to Premier League? A tough hill to climb. Maybe they could also focus on having lot less dodgy club owners.

Theory is quality wins as long as price similar. Not with pasties. How do Ginsters dominate with their terrible product? Just try proper pasty in Cornwall, e.g. from Philps in Hayle & taste a large difference. Is it really impossible to sell such in Penzance but not in Plaistow?

'new formula assumes every council charges notional Band D of £2,060. Barnet charges £438 less, but grant calculated as if difference were being collected. Council cannot collect it because rises above limit need Secretary of State consent or referendum' conservativehome.com/2026/10…

Welcome @LonTravelWatch, capital's official public transport watchdog, about a type of 'floating bus-stop' is calling for "compulsory and immediate removal of all existing SUBBs in London, rather than just a pause on their use." A danger to the blind, etc londontravelwatch.org.uk/new…

What London Sphere could have looked like. Newham Council & Mayor of London rejected due to light pollution. Developer could've bought impacted property or paid compensation to owners. Now will be a food court. Using old buses. Terrible decision by @NewhamLondon & @MayorofLondon
Ironic this vid about Las Vegas Sphere, leader in 'experience economy' (but content MOR, e.g. U2) part of series from Stratford's @HereEast As here would've been site of transformative sister London Sphere, rejected by London Mayor in 23. This is site now m.youtube.com/watch?v=ieGLA5…

Grade II ex Denmark Arms (c1890), East Ham, diagonally opposite complementary Grade II East Ham (later Newham) Town Hall (1901) Plan to turn into gambling centre rejected. Unlikely to be a pub again yet major investment in nearby Grade II 1899 Bolelyn Tavern makes that possible?

Statutory labelling covers third of can. Make it all to become the brand. Use humour with fake labels that together spell out brand & maybe knit together with the mandatory - many for recycling; it’s 2 krone deposit (PANT) in Norway. AMP made the can. EAC is Eurasian Conformity
