Old:
Smiths' water fountain, Finsbury Square. The text reads "Erected and presented to the Parish of St Luke by Thomas and Walter Smith (Tom Smith and Co) to commemorate the life of their mother, Martha Smith, 1826 - 1898".
This might not be particularly exciting but Tom Smith and Co, based on Finsbury Square until 1953, made Christmas crackers, and Tom Smith invented them.

Girls can wear jeans and cut their hair short, wear shirts and boots, because it's OK to be a boy, but for a boy to look like a girl is degrading, because you think that being a girl is degrading.
But secretly you'd love to know what it's like, wouldn't you? What it feels like for a girl?
(Excuse the different bikes, but it turns out it's much easier to ride a steel geared bike with bigger tyres than an aluminium fixed bike with 23mm tyres when you've recently had a big titanium plate put in your elbow!).
