A newspaper report revealed last week that a recent survey by online-shopping website Ocado uncovered some hippy-like tendencies in Notting Hill. The Evening Standard reported that Ocado's survey of purchases on its website showed Notting Hill residents to eat the most seeds and use the least shower gel and deodorant in the whole of the UK.

So they may be a healthy lot...but a bit whiffy. Perhaps bring a nose peg if you visit.

I joke, of course. I can attest that Notting Hill residents are a very well-washed lot. They probably just don't buy their toiletries from Ocado.
