All I Read Is the Air That I Breathe or Killers In the Mist
What with all these "pollution" warnings today, I had to laugh watching the BBC breakfast news. With all the seriousness Charlie Staid and Louise Munchkin could slap on with a trowel, they spoke of the 'killer ' fog and went straight to their reporter on the Brighton sea front. He then proceeded to speak with all the gravitas he had learned at the Italia Conte school he'd attended as a lad and to speak of the 'deadly' toxic pollution that was threatening our south eastern resorts or in Brighton's case a suburb.
Only problem was as his report sent chills down the spines of the dumb and dumber, a jogger behind him in the distance on his left shoulder came running up the promenade sprightly as you like with no apparent problems with breathing whatsoever !!!! Obviously no one had told this health fanatic that their lungs would burn in hell . Oh well BBC, I think you need to relocate yet again.......this time to Shepperton Studios where you can create your own reality. |

They were actually telling people not to exercise outdoors, serves'em right for being so melodramatic! I bet the infamous London smog of 1952 wasn't dealt with in such a manner and that was far *far* worse. -- Col Bolton, Lancashire 160m asl Snow videos: http://www.youtube.com/channel/UC3QvmL4UWBmHFMKWiwYm_gg |

I was in it and it was the "best" fog I'd seen, aged just 10. Indoors in a hall in central London it looked as if someone had set fire to all the waste paper bins or had had a bonfire.

Tudor Hughes, Warlingham, Surrey. I know it sounds daft but obviously I was born in November 52 so I sort of missed it , but 62 I just loved it. It was also the 'warm up' event for the best winter of my conscious life. Remembering those days the 'Cuban missile crisis ' always comes to mind but that crisis cleared as did the smog and winter started its memorable episode also accompyning the Beatles who started to loom on the landscape as well as the ice and snow. Being ten it was all so wonderful and etched forever in my memories until my brain stops working........ Now that is an invite. Come on lets be 'avin' you. |
