1. Right about now the 20,000th Community Interest Company is registering. An astonishing number really. It's great. CICs are diverse, they keep on coming and they're everywhere. We've seen practically zero scandals / big failures. This also strengthens the 100k #socent estimate.

2. Massive respect to all the social entrepreneurs and communities who have been setting up CICs to build a better economy and society. In tribute, @Richard_Harries and @SimonFParker demanded a list of the best CIC names on record. I've trawled the data and given it a go...
