For Episode five of the Newsquest's South London News Podcast, co-hosts Monica Charsley and Orlando Jenkinson discuss some of the lighter and less conventional news stories the south London team have covered during August.
Among them are the remarkable story of finding the heroic man who helped a mum and her sick baby, and a heated debate over the naming of a fish and chip Shop in Greenwich.
In News Shopper Reporter Jamie Bennet-Ness's story, the owners sparked outrage recently after calling their restaurant Jack the Chipper, in reference to the 19th century serial killer.
The hosts discuss the reaction to that story, and then take a look at some of the other stand-out cheerful stories to emerge from south London in August.
The man who converted his van into a semi-luxury motor-home / camper van after Covid-related restrictions on foreign travel, an innovative video game retailer, and the surprising success story of a charity shop in Croydon post-lockdown, for example, are all looked at in further detail.
