Happy, happy talk in South Norwood delivers community pride

Here’s four minutes’ worth of video that should cheer up many a dull morning.

Congratulations to Ian Bone and his mates at the South Norwood Tourist Board, the Crystal Palace Transition Team, Robert Gibson and to Councillor Jane Avis, who between them helped to develop a genuine community project, the Sensible Seat (… oh, how it might have been regarded differently if they’d decided to call it the “South Norwood Shitty Seat”).

We reported the launch here.

And now here’s the film spin-off…

And thanks of course, also, to Captain Sensible.
