One positive offshoot of the apparent chaos currently enveloping London during the RMT strike, is it gives us a chance to remember what travelling across central London at surface level was like before the Congestion Charge was introduced. Bloody awful. It's wall-to-wall cars, and the bus journey from Liverpool Street to The Strand has just taken the best part of 35 minutes (usual post congestion charge time: 15-ish minutes)

35 Minutes? Lucky you - I got the shuttle bus driver from anywhere but London, and ended up on the bus for 50 minutes because he went to Aldwych via Holborn and the moon.

Day of the Triffids
If everyone suddenly went blind, how long would the Internet survive, and could you still publish news on it?


The Express makes a twit of itself

With professionals of this quality, who needs 'citizen journalist' enemies?
It is hard to argue that ethics and quality set the 'professional journalist' apart from the amateur blogger, if the 'professional' keeps publishing articles so wrong that they have to be deleted.
