Jiminy Crackhead

Rising up over the skyline once dominated by the near-mythical Crystal Palace this weekend was a sight best described as mildly terrifying...

A charming, albeit only temporary, landmark I'm sure you'll all agree - plus a mind-boggling transformation that takes me back to the woeful Whippywatches of yesteryear...
