The council believes taking control of the site will help secure Barking’s reputation as a cultural hub.
Barking's what?!?
A council spokesman said: “We are also developing our cultural offering and Barking is being increasingly recognised as the new hub for the creative arts in east London.”
*stunned disbelief*

    I'm particularly fortunate to be only an hour's drive from Hull - the designated 2017 Cultural Capital of the UK - a fine achievement, having beaten off other jewels in the crown such as Leicester and Swansea.

    "Four stops past West Ham on the District Line" is part of our language's cultural heritage. Mine, anyway.

    In fairness, things such as molds are sometimes referred to as 'cultures' by scientists.

    As Dad said. When I see modern art now I will be able to call it barking and get wise nods from the cognoscenti.

    My advice? Point the car in the opposite direction. Make it two miles... ;)
