Dame Kelly Holmes was on the radio a little while ago exhorting girls to get involved in sport. We're not entirely sure that roller derby was what she was thinking of at the time, but a group of daring Londoners are keen to welcome new female recruits to their weekly Saturday afternoon practice sessions.

Every now and then, you happen across a sight or sound that transports you back in time, Proust-like, but with fewer soggy biscuits.
