Olympics Update
With each day that passes, a visit to the Beijing Olypmics becomes an ever more attractive option. A pity London can't compete these days with a good old sulphur-rich, can't see-your-hand-in-front -of-your-face Dickensian peasouper. Maybe if Ken got to work now, banning all non-drivers from the capital and giving planning permission only for those companies that undertake to produce a fixed amount of visible toxic fumes... Meanwhile, if Our Boys and Girls are to give their best in Beijing, they'd be well advised to have a browse here.

A blog about, among other things, imaginary ideas - What ifs? and Imagine thats. What if photographs looked nothing like what we see with our eyes? Imagine that the Berlin Wall had never come down. What if we were the punchline of an interminable joke? All contributions welcome.
what do they call a peasouper in Beijing? I peking your link but no can see. must be the fog.
ReplyDeleteBloody BBC - typical... It's just a story about the smog-related health warnings going out to intending spectators etc. I think they've now cut cars by a third and 'relocated' much industry from the city - all done by dikat of course, in the best freedom-loving Olympic spirit.
