Twins in Barnet - now that's what I call news!

There we have been, worrying about prosaic things like the future of council services in Barnet, when all the time real news was being made on our streets! The Sun draws our attention to the fact that the X Factor house is in Golders Green and local residents - including the Chinese ambassador - are having a crappy time living near it.

This is my favourite quote:

Peri Wiseman, 14, from Hendon, North London, said she travelled for an hour on the bus just to see John and Edward.

What have we been saying all along - the traffic is just terrible in this part of London!
