Les gens enlèvent un bonnet de Noel sur la sculpture en acier 'Angel of the North', haute de 20 mètres, à l'extérieur de Gateshead, Tyne and Wear. Les farceurs responsables ont grimpé du jour au lendemain pour l'enlever. L'un des membres du groupe, habillé du personnage du Dr Seuss, le Grinch, a été photographié en train de tirer le chapeau de la structure, avec l'aide de trois autres, habillés en père Noël. Le chapeau avait été placé sur le célèbre tableau d’Anthony Gormley la veille de Noël, ce qui a ravi les spectateurs.

The Londoner also got an £102,700 discount because of the length of time he had lived there.
The council admitted it originally valued the home as a one-bed in a “desktop” valuation – a way of valuing a property or business using existing information.
The bedroom in question is a “box room” and Antony claims it was mentioned on his lease, drawn up by the council. The homeowner also claims that an independent surveyor conducted a site survey of the flat before the sale took place.
Islington council is claiming Mr Zomparelli has been “unjustly enriched” by the apparent administrative blunder.

In a letter in March 2016, the local authority explained that where a public body “acts outside their jurisdiction, their decision is void”.
