The Muswell Hill Mammoths
The Guardian: Notes and Queries
"David Jarman locates 'the exact location of the north-south divide [as] the furthest advance limit of the great ice sheets' (N&Q, 13 July).
"My Muswell Hill home of 35 years, I've heard suggested, looks northwards across the road, at the tip end of the Pleistocene terminal moraine.
"Across the road they have subsidence problems: we southerners don't. I'm truly grateful I chose the proper side."
