Other times Tower Hamlets came up

  1. A kitten with its head stuck in a bongo, 2009. Two dogs in a toilet in Bromley in 2009. That's a big toilet, isn't it? It could be tiny dogs, couldn't it? It could be, yeah. A chimp in a chimney in Tower Hamlets. Oh, a chimney. That's so cool. An adult hamster trapped in a disabled lift in Greenwich. I feel sorry for it. They always release these press statements, emergency department, saying these are the ridiculous calls we've got.

That's so cool. An adult hamster trapped in a disabled left in Greenwich. I feel sorry for the fire. They always release these press statements, emergency departments saying, these are the ridiculous calls we've got.

  3. Maybe your parents die and they're about to get their pension and you decide, well, I'm going to pretend that I'm 65 years old and I'm going to get the pension instead, that kind of thing. We should quickly say for overseas listeners, so Tower Hamlets, Bit of London, which is kind of a multiple number of names that you might recognise. If you've ever been to the Tower of London, that will be in Tower Hamlets.
