Sticky Water

A few days ago, I notice that the washing machine was more soapy. I infer that within the past few days the water has gone from hard to soft. The reason, I assume, is that our water is now being taken from the River Thames rather than the River Lea.

Reason? Thames Water have reported a strange taste and smell in tap water after complaints from customers in Walthamstow, near Coppermill Lane, home to reservoirs and treatment plants. Two chemicals used in making glue (2-EDD and 2-EMD) entered the River Lea and hence the drinking water.

Oil Tankers in Town

Desire
Originally uploaded by LoopZilla

A desire path is a line that shows the most popular route, usually across a patch of grass. People want to get quickly to their destinations, so they cut corners.

In a busy city street, people are in a rush, to get home, to get to the shops, to get somewhere. So they take the line of least resistance....

But they cannot stop, they cannot give way. Once set on their path, they must get through. Like an oil tanker at sea, it can take miles before they can turn.

And when the do stop, they cannot move on. They block the doors of DLR trains, since those trains always stop in exactly the same spot!

No longer a Bendy Bus

The Bendy Bus will disappear from the streets of London over the next few years. Mayor of London Boris Johnson plans to introduce bikes for hire

Would a bendy bike be better? An articulated tandem? Makes sense to me!
