Harringay, Haringey - So Good they Spelt it Twice!

Do you have a bed made out of buttermilk pancakes?

Type in I punched a and in fourth place with over 19,000 results comes I punched a whale right in the face.

Go figure.

But at least sanity rules somewhere. Top of the pops on a search for Harringay is:

That doesn't de mystify it for me...or else I missed something in History class.
