Always liked this one. 'V' is for... [ame="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zx3m4e45bTo"]YouTube - The Verve - Bittersweet Symphony[/ame] When I first saw the vid for this I thought he was walking down a street in Peckham, south-east London, where I was born. Actually it's in Hoxton, North London. Thinking about it it couldn't have been Peckham coz otherwise at least one person would have given him a slap

Who says Britain hasn't contributed anything to the world, eh?
