Apparently the killer heel is out. Or so declared one Sunday newspaper this weekend. As I tore it open to find out exactly why and who has decided that women's favourite indulgence since fashion was invented is to be snatched from under our feet, so to speak, a friend caught the headline over my shoulder.

After food we headed off to Fairfield Halls in deepest darkest Croydon to see some bands at Witch Fest. We were aiming to get there in time to see The Veil (who we had already missed once this week) as their website said they were on at 20:00.

Eric Aumonier, sculptor of one of the invisible winds on 55 Broadway, came from a dynasty of architectural carvers founded by his grandfather William, who started the Aumonier Studio just off the Tottenham Court Road in 1876. So it must have been Grandad who supplied the ornamental stonework for Croydon Town Office, built in 1892. Croydon Town Hall is an uneasy mix of the pompous and prosaic. The enormous...
