Funky Chicken 15 Jun 11:03am, 15 Jun 2024 958 posts	0 Funky Chicken Higgs boson has moved from yesterday, so I thought I'd have a search of the London area to see if it was still somewhere in the vicinity. It's now headed south, to Mitcham, if any Fetchpointers in that area want to grab it before it's gone!
