I think they probably have a point about NOx problems in London and
for that matter on Teesside. I have flown into both often enough and
seen a pall of bronze coloured NOx haze hanging over the city. In
summer it forms an orange-brown coloured layer hanging above
Middlesbrough as you descend - not sure how bad it is now steel
making is largely shut down.

But having said that I fail to see why Athens which naturally traps
pollution in the city doesn't also fail on this criterion miserably.

Blimey that's rich as most of the Eastern Europeans are here
causing it!!!!!

Can I say that?

It is the sort of xenophobic comment we have come to expect from you.


Since the NO2 is caused by traffic fumes, I can only assume that
Lawrence thinks East European drivers in London are the only ones
causing the trouble. Not sure how that works; are they all driving
Trabants?
