Harringay, Haringey - So Good they Spelt it Twice!

Local pedant tuts over spelling mistake by Area Assembly member

Oh my, I am disappointed that, after all Hugh's efforts to explain the Harringay / Haringey history, the local Assembly member for Enfield and Haringey should pop an election leaflet through my door that talks about what she has achieved in Harringey.
Tip: Add Harringay to your Word dictionary and I'm sure it won't happen again.

Well, not 100% written by me. The article's been around for 5 years and was called "The Trouble with Harringay" and always ranks really high on a Google serch for Harringay. I evevtually found out it could be rewritten (Helluva process). I wanted to change the title and correct some errors in the original. My Thanks to Stephen H and Liz for their help with it. (I'm still not that happy with the article, but it's better than it was and soon Google should pick up the new title.)
