New Year Extra Extra

Bad new year: a man has died after a double shooting in Thornton Heath.

Honourable new year: arise Sir Patrick Stewart. And there are mentions for the RIver Cafe founders too...Strange new year: fancy adopting a homeless snake or spider?

Sustainable new year: on Christmas rubbish.

Interesting new year: a new museum is proposed for Wandsworth.

Questionable new year: Cressida Dick gets a medal as Sir Ian Blair enters the world of crime fiction.
