Osterley based Sky has managed to dance its way into the record books by holding the world's largest game of Head, Shoulders, Knees and Toes.

Despite tough supervision from an official Guinness World Record adjudicator, a huge 1,252 people successfully broke the record attempt as part of the broadcasting giant's SkyFest festival.

Over 200 guests turned up to the fourth annual Jersey Gardens Summer Fayre to enjoy the entertainment.

The Osterley event which is said to get 'bigger and better each year', was organised at the Ridgeway Road gardens by Friends of Jersey Gardens (FoJG), who made the decision to restore the run-down area back in 2003.

A BOTCHED daylight robbery from a cash-in-transit guard took place at Tesco in Syon Lane, Isleworth on Friday.

The guard was dropping off money bags at the supermarket at about noon when a hooded man ran at him and tried to grab the cash.

ENGINEERS at PC World in Brentford have been accused of overcharging customers for non-existent repairs.

A Sky News reporter was charged £230 and told his laptop required a new motherboard when, in reality, the only remedy required was pushing a chip back into place - a few-second job that other shops did for free.

Protestors in Osterley are confident that the third public inquiry into the conversion of a former theology school site into homes will be decided in their favour.

The four day inquiry by government inspectors is to be launched this week following an appeal by the developers after their application to build on the Campion House site in the heart of the Spring Grove conservation area, was again rejected by Hounslow Council.
