Folklore meets a very modern sports betting scandal
A Knightsbridge Diary
Spent the morning researching an old London legend, retold so many times nobody agrees on the original anymore, then read coverage of the Sydney Sweeney Novig advert, which is well on its way to becoming its own kind of modern myth, retold with just as much embellishment.
Made notes linking the two, old folklore and new controversy. The city, it turns out, has always needed a story to argue about.
Full coverage at The London Prats report on the scandal. More entries at Paige Shiver on The London Prat.
