Be alarmed - be creative
 |
Some people we know think it's time to set off the world's alarms. On the 11th of every month at 11 am (local time) a group of people are going to make some noise using mobile phones, alarm clocks, sirens, church bells, whatever does the trick - to try and bring a little attention to some stuff that needs attention. |

Local rules
|
We think this web site is fantastic! Unchained is a site for London. You'll find the best unchained shops in the city. All unchained shops are unique, one-offs. None of them are multinational chains, they're owned and run by real people with a passion for what they sell. Have a look to find anything from the little hidden gems to first-of-a-kind, world-famous boutiques. If you have an amazing local deli or know a great old school barber you can nominate them to be listed on the site... While you're at it, why not wrangle a Wedge Card for a discount and special offers at all those local shops? The Wedge card is the new loyalty card for independent shops launched by Big Issue founder John Bird and his daughter Diana. It’ll get you discounts and special offers from hundreds of local and independent shops and on-line businesses. What a deal! |
