Weird Brit Humour

Perhaps it is a cultural gap, but we fail to find this piece amusing or clever.

The Hendon & Finchley Times seems to have gone to great lengths to draw a link between Cricklewood (the birthplace of food snack Smith's Crisps) and the size of Angkor Wat. It's tedious and laboured humour.

The Cricklewood redevelopment will see the area balloon in size over the next two decades, with more than 5,500 new homes as part of the £2.3 billion plans, making the Khmer temple complex a mere joke by comparison.

Sorry to break the news to you spud-lovers in Cricklewood, but even in 20 years time it is unlikely that tourists will be ditching Angkor Wat for a tour of your abode. The chips will always be down on that score.
