For anyone else experiencing confusion, elephant and castle is a region in the south of London. I hate when places are named multiple nouns.

MODERATORS
Though maybe not as bad as when places use articles in their name. For years I thought "The Hague" was just the name of the ICC headquarters and prison, not the proper name of the actual city it's located in.
I thought it was a pub.
They didn’t even stop for the Blitz.
Never let a good crisis go to waste
It’s weird when people in old photographs look normal. I swear these are cosplayers.
Oi bruv, these lasses nicked everything.
I thought ladies' pants didn't have pockets because most women have a pocket pre-installed on their body. 🤔
That seems a mite inconvenient
Just don't use it for paper money; it'll get soggy and no one will take it.
Not all cash is made like it's the 1870, Australia's cash is perfectly waterproof.
And vagproof
I suppose any money at all should go elsewhere. Coins don't absorb liquid but can still be wet. 🤷♂️
I'm amazed they did it for 80 years
Imagining the most badass grannies codging along on their zimmer frames, stuffing their pockets with valuables. Their reflexes aren’t what they used to be, so everybody can see them, but still nobody dares do anything.
This is admirable behavior?
God forbid women have a little crime spree!
Where does it say that?
