Send us a textThis episode is a continuation from Episode 16. Ivor takes us through the formation of AFC Wimbledon and their remarkable rise through the Combined Counties League into the Football League. We skip the usual format to hear from Ivor about how the club was formed, the team names which were discussed, the trials on Wimbledon Common and the pitch invasion after the very first match versus Sutton!We also hear about the play off final against Luton, a result which got the club into the Football League. As you may know Wimbledon's ground suffered significant damage following flooding earlier in the week. Ivor talks about the parallels with the Newcastle tie (now moved to St James Park) and the Leeds FA Cup game referenced in Episode 1.  Crowdfunding to support AFC Wimbledon in getting games on following flood damage to the pitch and stadium on JustGivingIncredible to see the generosity of the football fans with (at the time of writing this) £117,000 raised. Bad language counter (not that bad really and Ivor did ask permission first but there were a few expletives!): 24:3537:3947:5948:0150:361:02.11MUSIC:New Waves - SoundrollWant to be a guest: email: loyalspodcast@gmail.com Facebook page: LoyalSupportersPodcast | FacebookTikTok:@loyalsupporterspodcast Twitter:TheLoyalSupportersPodcast (@LoyalSupportPod) / X

In 1992, Rachel Nickell was out for a walk with her dog and 2 year old son on Wimbledon Common in London, when a man came out of the blue and stabbed her to death. She was found with her son by her side, holding her hand. What followed was a shambles of an investigation by the Met Police, in which they decided to focus all their efforts on one (innocent) man, as the true perpetrator went on to kill others.

PREVIEW: #KINGCHARLES: Conversation with colleague Gregory Copley re the June 15 King's Birthday ceremony called "Trooping of the Colour" on Horse Guard's Parade in London: its origins, its significance, its success at providing the Commonwealth a unifying vision of security and splendor.  America lacks such a moment. This year will be dramatic presuming the King, undergoing cancer treatment, can attend, if not hrseback like last year.  More later. 1798 Light Horse volunteers of London and Westminster, reviewed by His Majesty on Wimbledon Common, July 5, 1798

In this episode of the Data Malarkey podcast, data storyteller Sam Knowles meets Professor Angela Gallop, CBE, the forensic scientists' forensic scientist. Over the past four decades, the teams she's led have solved some of the most complex, difficult, and intransigent cold cases in British criminal history: Rachel Nickell on Wimbledon Common, Roberto Calvi under Blackfriars Bridge, and Damilola Taylor in Peckham. And perhaps most notoriously of all, Stephen Lawrence, stabbed by a gang of racist thugs on the streets of Eltham.   The details of how Angela and her teams cracked these cases – often bringing pioneering new techniques into play – are recorded in (ahem!) forensic detail in all manner of media. They're in Angela's 2019 book When the Dogs Don't Bark, her 2022 book How to Solve a Crime, and in any number of TV documentaries and specials. Most recently, this included the three-part ITV1 series, Cold Case Forensics, in February of this year. Not to mention Angela's appearance on the legend that is BBC Radio 4's Desert Island Discs last November. Links below.   Our conversation was recorded remotely, via the medium of Riverside.fm, on Friday 15 September 2023.   Thanks to Joe Hickey for production support.   Podcast artwork by Shatter Media.   Voice over by Samantha Boffin.   Angela tells us how her interest in solving crime was perhaps first kindled by the lurid stories in the now-defunct British tabloid Sunday newspaper, The News of the World, and her love of science was enflamed by an inspirational, sixth-form biology teacher at school “just in the nick of time”. This passion for working things out combined with an intense sense of natural justice saw forensic science take over her life after she joined the Home Office Forensic Science Service in 1974.   As her skills developed and as she founded and scaled some of the country's first and most successful private forensic science businesses, Angela became an international expert in blood and other bodily fluids – who they could and couldn't have come from, and the patterns they make and leave behind at crime scenes.   Forensics cover so many different areas in “offences against the person” – bodily fluids, of course, but also weapons, clothing – textiles, fibres, and fragments – toxicology, drugs, footwear, documents, and firearms. Increasingly, criminals leave digital traces of their activity, but the biggest single development in Angela's long and stellar career has been the rise to prominence of DNA evidence.   In perhaps the most memorable, moving, and intricate part of our discussion, Angela details how – after repeated examination and failures to identify the killers – she and her team unpicked the evidence that led to prosecution in the Stephen Lawrence case.   Angela also maintains that real forensics is much more subtle, time-consuming, interesting, and collegiate than the CSI TV drama series are ever able to portray.   EXTERNAL LINKS Angela's books https://www.waterstones.com/author/professor-angela-gallop/4009171   A ‘Long Read' on Angela's career, from The Guardian https://www.theguardian.com/science/2022/mar/24/queen-of-crime-solving-angela-gallop-forensic-science   Angela on BBC Radio 4's Desert Island Discs from 4 November 2022 https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/m001dmpl   2023 ITV1 series Cold Case Forensics covering how Angela and her team cracked the Rachel Nickell, Lynette White, and Stephen Lawrence cases https://www.itv.com/watch/cold-case-forensics/10a1535/10a1535a0002   --   To find out how you rank as a data storyteller, complete our data storytelling scorecard at https://data-storytelling.scoreapp.com.

PHIL And this is Phil Woodford joining Michael via Zoom and revealing our top story is going to be the ongoing crisis in the Middle East. With death and destruction in both Israel and the neighbouring Gaza Strip, is there any way of preventing a bigger regional war?  MICHAEL For our second story this week, it's the claim by a Black millionaire that he was denied access to a posh London bar and was racially profiled. Just how commonplace is this kind of overt racism in the 2020s? PHIL What's story number three? Well, boffins are worried about ancient germs being unearthed as the world warms up. Bugs are being defrosted and could pose a threat to human health. But how much of a threat? We ask ChatGPT and Bard for their opinions!

It's not been much of a Summer this year, so while the sun is shining and while there are plenty of cheap eats to sample, why not go on a picnic? Paul & Eli gather up all the PO Box snacks and head off to Wimbledon Common in South London for another outdoor misadventure. As ever, there are thrills and spills as the cheap chaps stumble, sometimes drunkenly, through the woods looking for little nooks and crannies to stuff their greedy faces. Over the next two hours, you'll hear them question the existence of some awkward porn, get typically lost, discover an ancient well, get spooked by a lady in the woods, and force all manner of great and grim snacks down their gullets. There's bickering, laughter and disgust… but will they find a bloody Womble? Find out!

Rachel Nickell's brutalised body was found on Wimbledon Common with her two-year-old son Alex wiping her bloodied face and begging her to 'wake up'. The nature of the broad daylight attack and the horrific injuries put enormous pressure on the Met to get the case solved and fast. However, none of that justifies the shoddy police work, cut corners, and tunnel vision that allowed a serial rapist to go unchecked for years.

In July 1992, a young mother was murdered on Wimbledon Common as her two-year-old son looked on. Her death would lead to one of the most notorious miscarriages of justice in British criminal history, as a man was imprisoned for a crime he did not commit. For three decades, the person who shouldered the blame for this was the country's leading forensic psychologist, Professor Paul Britton, who finally breaks his silence in a series of exclusive interviews on the 90-minute special, The Murder That Changed Britain. Gareth Cliff speaks to Prof. Paul Britton about this fascinating true crime story. The Murder That Changed Britain, a CBS Original, airs exclusively on CBS Justice (DStv 170) on Sunday 29 January at 20:00.

Today on Mushroom Hour we are graced by the presence of woodland spirit Fergus Drennan aka Fergus The Forager. Fergus has been gathering and learning about wild plants, seaweeds, and fungi for over 40 years. His journey begun on Wimbledon Common, aged 3 years, collecting dandelions for the family's pet tortoise. Since those early days, and through much creative and experimental exploration he has continued his foraging practice, not only as a means to understand and to discover the practical relevance that foraging has in the modern developed world, but also in terms of what it means to be an environmentally conscious human in relation to the natural world. “Can foraging ever be considered a truly sustainable practice, and if so how?”, is a question that always orchestrates his foraging activity. So too does a pursuit of foraging's playful and creative possibilities. Truth be told, Fergus just loves being outside, admiring nature as part of nature, living in touch with her reassuring seasonal cycles, awake to her sensuality, her surprises, opportunities, and endless gifts, in pursuit of the good life.   TOPICS COVERED:   Trips with Mom to Wimbledon Common   Tortoise Teacher, I Spy Insects   Play, Creativity and Foraging    Brambles, Pine Pollen & Jelly Ears   Foraging “Nose to Tail”   Foraging as a Subversive Act   Life Stacking   Avoiding Neurosis & Being Saved by Others   Reciprocal Dialogue with the Natural World   Developing a Relationship with Local Open Space   Complicity in Industrial Systems   Amanita muscaria Workshops   Amanita muscaria as Food & Medicine   Foraged Books & Making Paper from Mushrooms    EPISODE RESOURCES:   Fergus the Forager Website: https://fergustheforager.co.uk/ Fergus IG: https://www.instagram.com/fergustheforager/ Pine pollen: https://nutrawiki.org/pine-pollen/ Auricularia auricula-judae (AKA Jelly Ear): https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Auricularia_auricula-judae Plantago major: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plantago_major Pascal Baudar: https://www.urbanoutdoorskills.com/ Fergus Henderson (author): https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Whole_Beast  Jason Hickel (author): https://www.jasonhickel.org/  Katy Bowman: https://www.nutritiousmovement.com/  Fomitopsis betulina (AKA Birch Polypore): https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fomitopsis_betulina  David Arora article on Amanita muscaria: https://williamrubel.files.wordpress.com/2011/09/rubel_arora_muscaria_economic_botany3.pdf”  Merck Index: https://www.rsc.org/merck-index  Phallus impudicus (AKA Stinkhorn): https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phallus_impudicus

Religious tensions, post-colonialism, court intrigue,  unimaginable slaughter. It should be a right bloody laugh as Ben and Mark discuss 2018's 'Demons of the Punjab' and 1966's 'The Massacre of St Bartholomew's Eve'. Ben and Mark have nothing but praise for Vinay Patel's powerful portrayal of a historical moment that is woefully untaught in the history curriculum. It's Doctor Who at its most Reithian and leads to a discussion that takes in legacy, religious extremism and the Doctor's policy of 'no interference'.Meanwhile, the Lash Lads find it harder to speak highly of John Lucarotti and Donald Tosh's flawed historical 'The Massacre of St Bartholomew's Eve'. Might this be better if we could see it? How on Earth were they portraying such a grisly and grotesque historical event on teatime telly? And what happened to the little boy on Wimbledon Common? Support the show (https://www.buymeacoffee.com/onthetimelash)

In 1962 the USA and USSR engaged in one of the most terrifying acts of brinksmanship the world has seen. But few people know of the role played by an ordinary British businessman in bringing the Cuban Missile Crisis to an end. New film The Courier, starring Benedict Cumberbatch, tells the true story of Greville Wynne, recruited by MI6 to penetrate the Soviet nuclear programme. Director Dominic Cooke talks to Tom about creating this Cold War spy thriller. Deceit is a new four-part drama on Channel 4 documenting the investigation launched by the police in the wake of the Rachel Nickell murder on Wimbledon Common in 1992. It stars Niamh Algar as an undercover officer who tried to reel in the man the police believed was guilty, Colin Stagg. The writer and creator, Emilia di Girolamo, joins Front Row to talk about sexism, classism and how access to hours of original interview recordings helped her craft the script. Lily Allen is making her West End debut in 2.22 A Ghost Story, in which she plays Jenny, a mother convinced a ghost is haunting her baby daughter's room. But her cocky husband, Sam, is resolute in his refusal to believe her. An old friend of Sam's and her far less dismissive boyfriend come to dinner. They drink – encountering a lot of spirits there - and debate, until 2.22 in the morning, the hour when, Jenny says, the ghost walks. The play is by Danny Robins, creator of the hit podcast The Battersea Poltergeist. Susannah Clapp, reviews the show and she and Tom Sutcliffe discuss the way ghosts are manifest in plays. And actress Una Stubbs has died aged 84. Matthew Sweet pays tribute to a career which spanned six decades from Rita in Til Death Do Us Part to Mrs Hudson in Sherlock Presenter: Tom Sutcliffe Producer: Hilary Dunn

We all have various barriers and boundaries that dictate what we feel we can comfortably do and where we feel we can comfortably go. These are the beliefs and patterns of thought that in their attempt to protect us just end up holding us back and restricting our growth. So where do these ideas come from and how do we change them? In this episode we highlight what differentiates a barrier from a boundary and how we go about knocking down both so we can take the steps necessary to achieve emotional freedom. Along the way we discuss Britt's newly straightened teeth, the Wombles of Wimbledon Common and the time Tim doggie paddled off a pirate ship. Enjoy... ...and keep thinking outside the box!

“And it's been noted how many people are very lonely and how many people are missing people, and this is what we do on a daily basis, we introduce people together.”   Andrew Ford is the landlord of my local pub, the Hand in Hand, on Wimbledon Common, South West London. It's my sanctuary when London becomes too much for me, as stepping through its doors you enter a cosy country-style pub dating back to 1835. But more importantly, you're greeted with a smile and a decent pint of beer.   On one level I have mixed feelings broadcasting about the pub, as I feel it's one of London's best-kept secrets – after all, there aren't too many “village” pubs in London! However, the Hand in Hand and Andrew are full of stories; and stories should be shared.   So last month, I caught up with Andrew for a pint of ale, and we had a fine chat and a laugh. Our topics of conversation ranged from the history of the pub, which started life as a bakery; the pub as a community; the mental health effects of the lockdown on the staff as well as the regulars; the pub's customers including Oliver Reed's drinking shenanigans; serving a decent pint of ale; to working as a husband and wife team – Andrew's wife Elzbieta runs the kitchen.   The Hand in Hand is the perfect example of why pubs are the heart and soul of a community.

In this episode, I interview Jon Stagg, the Founder/Owner of Atlas Cafe, The Stagg, and Hobart Mountain Bike Tours, all based in beautiful Hobart, Tasmania. After years working in banking and IT, in a blanket in the Wimbledon Common in London, where the Wimbles live, Jon and his wife decided to move back to Tasmania for more space and a better lifestyle soon after their first child arrived.  In 2002, aged 32, they bought a small cafe restaurant in Hobart and sold it five years later. After a couple of years back working for the man, they got the small business itch again and in 2009 set up Atlas Cafe, and then in 2016, The Stagg, a successful cafe. With both cafes running smoothly and needing little of their time, Jon decided to start Hobart Mountain Bike Tours, which has had mixed success. Their funding was solely from their own savings initially, then a small bank loan for Atlas Cafe later on. Starting with 5 full-time employees in 2002, they now have around 20 in the team, and over $2 Million in annual sales, with most of that coming from the two cafes.  Jon says a business owner should use a new employee’s probation period to ensure they are a good fit, especially culturally, and employ the no dickhead policy. He admits that that has dramatically changed the way he manages people. He believes the hardest thing in growing a small business is, “Staff, Staff, Staff” and the advice he would give himself on day one is, “Dont be scared, jump in with your boots on. You’re going to make mistakes. Don’t be scared to make mistakes. Believe in yourself. Do it”. Listen in as Jon shares his years of experience in small business ownership, and I promise you you will leave wiser as you seek to grow your own small business. Enjoy! This Cast Covers: Leaving the IT and banking industry to venture into small business ownership. Succeeding in an industry that is tough to run well and make money from. Starting the mountain bike tour business and the extreme challenges they’re currently facing. From turning over $300 when they started The Stagg, to the current weekly turnover of $20,000. Building a team of 20 full-time employees spread across their three businesses over the years they’ve been in business. The analogy of paddling in front of the wave and how it applies to business ownership. Gaining time freedom by successfully detaching from the daily operations of the businesses through setting up effective systems. Grappling with the low margins, dealing with a usually young staff, and the terrible staff retention rates in the industry. Bootstrapping at the startup stage, getting a small bank loan later on, and currently getting interest free funding from the government to set up a third (catering) business. The vision: Working on setting up a mountain biking lodge. Communication issues and the pain of letting employees down as a business owner. Investing in proper accounting and bookkeeping to add the greatest value to the business. The beauty of running a business in the hospitality industry for Jon. Learning to be more accommodating and understanding of his staff and how that has benefitted his business in the long run. The importance of keeping an eye on the numbers and having a probation period for every new hire. Getting the Guinness Book of World Records win for the most number of cappuccinos made within an hour. Attending coffee events and conferences to network in the industry and learn different techniques. The regret of spending too much time in the business focusing too much on the money. How to build a hospitality business and be able to get out of the day to day operations. Believing in yourself, not fearing mistakes, and going all-in on your dream business.

Series two concludes with the episode that didn't screen in the UK until several years after it was made. Richie and Eddie lose a bet and find themselves roughing it for a week in deepest darkest Wimbledon Common with just a tin opener, a packet of chocolate hob nobs and a World Ranger Storm Buster IV Tent to keep them alive.

Soon, hunger overtakes them both and there's only one thing for it - Womble hunting.   Mat, Paul and Angela discuss  comparisons with Rik and Ade's work and Samuel Beckett's plays, shooting in TV studios, the delay in transmission for the episode, annoying campers, Eddie's girlfriends, breaking the 4th wall, Richie and Eddie as kids playing dress up and flashers.

Kim Cresswell churns the stomach with her unbelievable account of the atrocities committed by Fred and Rosemary West  Carol Anne Davis looks at one of the greatest abuses of police power in English history: the entrapment of Colin Stagg for the 1992 ripper-style murder of blonde beauty Rachel Nickell on Wimbledon Common. Meanwhile, the real killer, Robert Napper, was already confined to Broadmoor asylum for the 1993 evisceration murder of Samantha Bisset and the rape and deadly suffocation of her infant daughter. To top it all off, Edgar-Award winning author Burl Barer makes his SKQ debut, lending his highly original voice to an intriguing re-examination of the murders ascribed to “Yorkshire Ripper” Peter Sutcliffe, and the phenomenon of homicidal fame.Robert J. Hoshowsky, Aaron Elliott, and Kim Cresswell also look at three comparably notorious historical London slayers in their pieces on creepy old John Christie, “Acid Bath Vampire” John George Haigh, and Jack the Ripper suspect and bride poisoner George Smith.
