The South London suburb of Nunhead is said to get its name from a pub, The Old Nun's Head. The pub, in turn, is reputed to have got its name from the notion that the mother superior of a local convent was beheaded during the Dissolution of the Monasteries. Her head is said to have been placed on a spike on the village green, on the spot where the pub now stands. Though there is little evidence to support this claim, there may have been a convent in the area with links to an Augustinian priory in Shoreditch. The cellars of the pub are said to be haunted by the nun and to contain bricked-up tunnels that once led to the convent. #history #London #gothic #psychogeography #weird #folklore #ghosts #paranormal #pub

Interesting. I lived there, once upon a long time ago, and had no idea about this.

@KatS Once upon a time, I too lived quite close - in New Cross and Brockley. I also knew nothing about the legend then.

@RegGuy Everytime I go to the doctor I tell them I’m a 25 year old, 6 foot tall, 125 pound Swedish underwear model, and this short, round, Mediterranean, grey haired look is just a disguise.

They never believe me and make me get on the scale anyway. Bastards.

Seriously wondering why someone commuting on their bicycle with helmet, backpack, and cell phone holder is emblematic of "immigration" 🤔

(I get there are a lot of janitors and healthcare workers who are immigrants...)

(Robert Reich video blurb on benefit on immigrants)

in reply to AI6YR Ben

A few years ago one of the bike mags did a takedown of cyclist elitism by surveying the people who *really* ride, people who commute tens of miles a day on their plain, non-elite bicycles. Lots of immigrants in the group, and lots of different bikes.
