We express here who the grand old lady of Cricklewood NW2 is to us. Cricklewood is a place where all cultures, all roads, all railways (not very many tubes) and, ultimately, all consciousness meets. Even if you don't live in Cricklewood, you can now take a little bit of Cricklewood away with you.

Time for a Twin - Join our Campaign

We have some good base support here and I'm sure we're getting those bureaucrats at City Hall VERY uncomfortable! However we need more support if we are to achieve the twinning we all know Cricklewood deserves. So get on those keyboards and show your support with a comment. Email this to your friends! We all know Cricklewood is the greatest place in the world. Let's get it a little friend which it can mentor!

After considerable research including over one Yahoo! search, The Cricklewood Herald has been unable to discover any evidence that Cricklewood has ever been twinned with any other area or city in the world. The Herald thinks this is an outrageous omission.

Why have there not yet been efforts to twin towns with Cricklewood? It may be that the spirit of non-promotion that sits behind the unspoken Accord discussed in our article below ("The Mayor of Cricklewood") is responsible for this. It might be that no other city or town in the world feels qualified to put itself up as a potential twin for Cricklewood - it would certainly be presumptuous to suggest that one's town is in some way equal to Cricklewood - this is clear.

However, it is the Herald's view that the inability of potential twin towns to be as fabulous as Cricklewood should not mean that Cricklewood should not have a twin. We therefore propose, today, to commence a campaign to get Cricklewood a twin. You can join the campaign by attaching a comment to this post. At the conclusion of the campaign, we'll collate these comments and write letters to our three Councils urging them to take positive action to get us a twin. Of course it goes without saying that we will not rest until action has commenced.

In the meantime, we encourage you to include in your posts your own thoughts as to potential twins. Here are some suggestions to get you started:

  • Paris, Le Marais
  • Barcelona, the Gothic Quarter
  • New York, Manhattan
  • Sydney, Paddington

So get commenting and JOIN THE CAMPAIGN FOR A TWIN!

I'm backing the campaign. I can't wait to walk into Cricklewood and see the sign "Welcome to Cricklewood twinned with New Orleans"!

I think it will need a lot of travel and sampling of local delights before a decision can be made. But councillors will just have to grin and bear it.

Mooloolaba Murph believes the elite Bisbane suburb of Anala - or perhaps it's neighbour, Woodridge - could make very suitable twin for a place such as Cricklewood.

To start with I see MM doesn't know how to spell that Brisbane suburb and ST left a p out of her support. Not that I mean to be picky. Now then, a twin eh? Yes, yes yes - ah, now what about somewhere really famous, (don't muck around with the likes of Paris, New York, New Orleans, or even Mooloolabah), like Alice Springs - really well known all around the world. It has the mighty Todd River with its' many indiginous bottleos along its' scenic length open all hours, the friendly residents always keen to make sure you have company, (perhaps akin to to the chaps on the grassy hill outside the B&Q).

Eating establishments to better any in the world and with very diverse menus - very game they are.
And culture is in the atmosphere - not that Cricklewood could hope to match this type of environment, but it could always aspire eternally - one usually wants a relation to boast to the world about.
Must go now, but if it's of any interest I could approach the necessary authorities with a veiw to furthering the no doubt excited discussions I feel you will by now be having with those around you.
