Who watched The Traitors last night? 😱 Our hearts are still racing from the jaw dropping final, so just imagine playing with your team at work. That’s exactly what the team have been up to!

From secret Slack messages to undercover missions, the BAC team ran the game internally over three weeks, with banishments and murders every Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday and lunchtime missions to boost productivity - all finishing with a grand final in their Great Hall.

The game proved hugely successful, with office morale and attendance at an all time high - so much so they’re exploring offering this as a team building service to other companies. Send this to your HR team now, it sounds like a lot of fun!

Could this officially be the end of the 319 night bus route? Transport for London has announced plans to permanently withdraw the route for late night buses between Sloane Square and Streatham Hill at weekends, which has been suspended since the pandemic.

The route follows the same journey as the 319 day bus, which will remain in operation, stopping in the King’s Road in Chelsea before heading to Battersea, Clapham Junction, Northcote Road, Tooting Bec and Streatham.

According to transport buses, there was limited use of the night route pre-pandemic, so its reintroduction can’t be justified.

Passengers will have six weeks to comment on the plans, with a consultation closing on 23rd February (link in bio to take the survey). What are your thoughts? 👇

Today marks the 48th anniversary of the release of the tenth studio album by Pink Floyd “Animals” (1977) 🐖

Band member Roger Walters lived in the area at the time and suggested they feature Battersea Power Station on the album artwork - which they did, with a floating pig between the chimneys!

The giant inflatable pig, called Algie, caused some issues on the day of the shoot. It broke through the moorings into the Heathrow flight path, eventually landing in Kent.

The band reimagined the moment again in September 2011 (second image ➡️).

A little local history lesson for you!
