  • 20: the number of Durga Puja celebrations which are expected around the capital: the most traditional is at Belsize Park.
  • 12,000: the amount in pounds of monthly handouts given to a refugee family to live in a seven bedroom home because Ealing council had nothing of a more appropriate size to offer. Yep, that left us speechless too.
  • 4: the number of people bitten by a mad dog in Mitcham before it was shot dead by police.
