It was named after Leslie Hore-Belisha, the Minister of Transport who put them up (not personally of course). Surely the crossing was called a "Zebra Crossing"

Re: Hopscotch - or Graffiti ...
Quite a few schools here have banned 'somersaults and handstands' on school grounds in the interests of health and safety ( worried about compo claims) what a mess! and a 5yr old girl's Mum was called and told that her daughter had been refused permission to play on the monkey bars as she wasn't wearing tights and it was a mixed playground and her knickers had been on view, what a horrible world we live in!
