King’s Coronation: The last lamplighters of London – BBC News
More than 25,000 lamplighters used to roam the streets of London, lighting up the streets of the capital, now there are just five.
Their job is a unique one and still very relevant today.
Ahead of the coronation of King Charles, the remaining lamplighters had a special task, to turn one lamp into a shining jewel in its own right.

Entrepreneurs in New Jersey are making it big importing mangoes from India.
Yakin Shah and Bharat Kumar Parasana import about $20,000-worth at a time and sell them to their neighbours through WhatsApp.
Bharat said he spent more than $1 million importing the fruit last year.
This year, however, he’s spending more due to the war in the Middle East pushing up flight prices.
Mango correspondent Samira Hussain finds that in one New Jersey grocery store, a mango that typically goes for roughly 70 cents in India will sell for $5.

The Lebanese armed group Hezbollah has rejected the terms of a US-backed ceasefire between Israel and Lebanon.
In a strongly-worded statement, the Iran-backed group’s leader Naim Qassem said negotiations had been “futile” and “humiliating” for Lebanon, and rejected categorically by “broad segments of the Lebanese people”.
It comes after Israel and Lebanon announced a renewal of their fragile ceasefire with the creation of “pilot” security zones inside Lebanon in which Hezbollah operatives would be banned.
In a joint statement released on Wednesday by the US State Department, the three countries said the deal was “contingent on a complete cessation” of fire by Hezbollah.

Doesn't seem that authentic when you walk up to a bloke lighting the lamp and realizing he has a British gas jumper on 😂😂

I remember when electric lighting was introduced to the residential streets of Edinburgh in the late 1950's, the soft greenish glow of the gas lamps was replaced by a bright yellow glare from what I understood to be "sodium lamps" which were painful to look at directly. Those were replaced in their turn.
