The 'Ladykillers' film set dummy house owned by 'Mrs Lopsided' was built at the end of Frederica Street (sometimes known as Frederick Street) above the southern portal of Copenhagen tunnel. Here's a 'then and now' comparison which always fascinates me!

Nobody has ever scored more Test match runs for England than Joe Root.
He is now the leading Test run scorer for his country - overtaking Sir Alastair Cook.
12,473 runs - and counting!

Brilliant that @AndyBurnhamGM has thrown his weight behind getting rid of FPTP.
Britain needs PR and to Rejoin the EU.
