A 2018 calendar, which started off as a jokey idea on a local Facebook Page, has sold out several times and is so successful it's being reprinted once again with any profits going to charity.

Hanwell residents used creative and photoshopping skills to poke fun at Ealing Council's own publication with a not so subtle dig at rubbish collection and flytipping problems often discussed on the Facebook page.

They also reimagined various local scenarios - including Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt apparently enjoying a night out in W7.

Liz Jenner, the calendar creator, says it started as a bit of a laugh and snowballed with over a hundred residents and even local police buying copies.

She said, ''I made it a competition promising the winners absolutely nothing apart from a free copy of the final product. We were inundated with brilliant photos. Feedback has been overwhelmingly positive and it makes me proud to live in such a friendly funny community.''

The £8 calendars are on sale at Knight Sound and Light 98-100 Uxbridge Rd, W7 3SU. Any profit from the calendars will be given to charity.
