Are people that unobservant, or don't Londoners take any notice of anything? |  |

This is what I've been wondering, although as you know in Penge everyone looks a bit fooked up so he wouldn't stand out. But seriously, it is odd. I can only think he's wearing a disguise/has covered it up somehow. |  |

I would say (based on no real evidence) that due to the demographics of London far less people will watch local or National news. And so possibly, some people wouldn’t have seen his image. Plus, quite a lot of people regardless of location, now tend to been attached to ear phones and in their own little world, not looking at their surroundings. |  | |  |

The demographics of London?! You have literally every type of person you could think of in London, well apart from country bumpkins. So yeah, no real evidence 'Londoners' don't watch the news. Your second point probably has a lot of validity. |  |

Equally silly to say everyone in Penge looks a certain way? |  |

I'd have thought it was pretty obvious that was a joke. I even put "But seriously" afterwards! |  |

I think you'll find it was a joke, which I found funny having lived nearby in South Norwood many years ago and considering Penge a rather nondescript place. As it is, I came across the following, and certainly remember the name being pronounced in French by way of a joke. "Penge has long been the butt of jokes. First of all – and perhaps most importantly – it sounds funny. Then musical hall comedians with a penchant for slagging off wherever they were playing, gave it some serious stick in its two massively popular music hall venues (King’s and, later, The Empire), a trait that was picked up and recycled by the likes of Spike Milligan, Douglas Adams and Terry Wogan, who liked to pronounce it Pawnge, as if it was French."

Yes, sorry. Just seen the 'last seen' pics. Literally outside the entrance to MI6, which is quite funny. |  |
