      Petition to add the atherstone ball game to the list; twatting your neighbours over a big football is the most British tradition there is

      Notting Hill carnival on the UK heritage list? Let’s throw in drill music as well

      What’s the point? Ah. from reading the article, it comes from Unesco.

      Where will it end? The FA Cup, the Old Firm Derby, every national competition in every sport from yachting to tiddlywinks? Maypole and Morris dancing in every town or village? Eid and Easter, and Passover and Christmas? Diwali and Guy Fawkes night?

      The government is desperate to save money and this will tie up at least two civil servants for at least a year, with ongoing costs for software and databases but it is a Unesco directive that we signed up to so we’d best get on with it.

      But what’s the point?

      Okay can we throw in the Shetland ship burning, bog snorkelling, rescue the maiden boat races and Haystack Pub Runs

      I’m sure the residents of Notting Hill will be pleased about that.

      Although the Carnival was there before them.
