Given that Mary Place is where it is, I was surprised by the historical nautical connection with the Royal Naval Patrol Service.
And thanks for weaselfroth. I intend to use the term today.

Plenty to read and wonder at on a mild and meek winter morning.
These days the adjective "chilled" means 2 to 4 degrees, but not frozen. Though in ice cream bike days, it may have been less precise.

Very informative. I'd always thought that the ice cream came first and Wall's then diversified into making sausages.

Whilst Sadiq Khan mandated second staircases for residential buildings over 30m in February, Michael Gove went further in July to lower the threshold to 18m.
This is writing off huge sums of value, and impacting the viability of most mid and high-rise projects.

Weaselfroth - what a word.
Maybe influenced by the Rhod Gilbert comedy? However your use appears to be unique - first result in search.
So vey descriptive of marketing, false promises and weasel words. You should © it. Can you?

Don’t understand why TfL play down Acton ML? It has just 4 trains per hour, but is within the walking catchment of five other TfL stations. For many the Elizabeth Line provides a such more salubrious and faster route into Central London. It also has 3 bus routes passing by its front door (though not tactually stopping there), making it quite a useful outer London destination too.

More disturbingly the original Walls ice-cream used to use pig-fat, which judging from the amount of searches on Google continues to worry today's consumers.

Weaselfroth should definitely be in the running for Word of the Year.

I can see at least two more candidates in the index of my A-Z, so you should be OK for next year. Although you may already have considered and rejected them.

Cue the old jokes that reference Wall's I'm sure at least some others know.
From documents I have seen, I think LFB have been recommending 2 staircases for some time before Khan/Gove made the advice into planning policy, so it shouldn't have been a surprise to developers, more of a hope they could get approval before the change and it wouldn't be back-dated to projects that hadn't started build.

Finding the seasonal in the mundane and making it interesting - that's what I come here for!

No office building I worked in ever had less than two stairways. Homes- with cooking, children, and elderly are much more likely to have a fire!

As I understand it, it has been part of the building codes in the US for almost a century that residential buildings must have two staircases if they exceed 3 floors. So there are many three-decker (or triplex) apartment buildings. (Similarly, US fire regulations restricting the height of wood-framed buildings result in ubiquitous "five-over-one" blocks, with concrete on the ground floor.)
The Building Safety Act is having a big impact in the UK, and in the light of Grenfell that is probably not a bad thing.

Fascinating as ever.
I found a Wall's sign like the one pictured in a junk shop back in the summer. It was £732. Much as Mr BW would have loved it in his workshop, I did not have £732, and if I had, I still wouldn't have bought it as it was definitely rather over-priced.
