London Ramblings: March 2012
http://malcnhg-londonramblings.blogspot.com/2012_03_01_archive.html
Thursday, 29 March 2012. Politicians, what an extraordinary bunch they are. For some time now there has been the threat of strike action by fuel tanker drivers. The dispute, as is often the case, being about pay and conditions. The press, as expected, has been stirring up concerns over fuel shortages which would lead to huge disruptions. Affecting personal vehicles and, more importantly, public services and. Politicians…….don’t you just love ‘em! Labels: foot in mouth. Monday, 5 March 2012. To take a loo...

London Ramblings: Death In Notting Hill
http://malcnhg-londonramblings.blogspot.com/2013/07/something-very-strange-was-going-on-in.html
Tuesday, 30 July 2013. Death In Notting Hill. Closer still, I found that they had been scattered over the bodies of two dead foxes! Some of the flowers appear to have been in the form of a garland but that may have been just the way that they had fallen. I didn't have time to forensically examine the corpses but a couple of things were obvious. Firstly, if they were road kill, they had been moved from where they had been hit. They were laid neatly side by side and on their sides. . Thirdly, they appeared...

London Ramblings: April 2013

Wednesday, 17 April 2013. Margaret Thatcher.the Final Act. So, it's finally over. Margaret Hilda Thatcher has been despatched to meet her maker (if you believe in that kind of thing). Surely one of the most controversial and divisive figures in modern British history, her funeral has resulted in as much discussion as her entire political career. The cortege, accompanied by a military escort and the band of the Royal Marines, then made its way along Fleet St and up Ludgate Hill to St Paul's. This attitude...

London Ramblings: September 2014
http://malcnhg-londonramblings.blogspot.com/2014_09_01_archive.html
Sunday, 14 September 2014. A Walk Under The River. There are three accessible pedestrian routes under the River Thames. The Greenwich. Foot Tunnels are both well known and well used, I've been through both of them on many occasions. The third one came as a bit of a surprise to me. Work on the Rotherhithe Tunnel. Commenced in 1904 and it was opened by HRH The Prince of Wales (later King George V) in 1908. Linking Limehouse. On the north bank with Rotherhithe. So, this morning, I joined two friends, Jane.

London Ramblings: More North Pole News
http://malcnhg-londonramblings.blogspot.com/2012/09/more-north-pole-news.html
Tuesday, 25 September 2012. More North Pole News. As a follow up to my last post. The North Pole is currently decorated with these signs following a gathering of protesters on Saturday. I'm slightly surprised that the banners were still there on Monday afternoon, but perhaps Tesco were not aware that a protest had taken place. 26 September 2012 at 04:17. Here are some of my pictures from the protest. We must keep fighting the Tesco takeover! Https:/ www.facebook.com/media/set/? 26 September 2012 at 08:42.

London Ramblings: Fly the Thames
http://malcnhg-londonramblings.blogspot.com/2012/10/dangleway.html
Monday, 8 October 2012. What I don't get is mountain climbing. Why would anyone subject themselves to the pain and misery of clinging to a sheer rock face, not to mention the exhaustion and the ever present danger of plunging hundreds of feet to your death or ending up dangling on a rope with several other climbers like party bunting in a Tim Burton film. We're a bit short of Alps in London (except in Beckton. But we do have a cable car. But because it is just plain ugly down there. With all sorts of...

Monday, 23 April 2012. Getting to the Point. It seems that the sanitisation of St Giles continues. Plans have been announced to transform Centre Point and its immediate surroundings. Built by property tycoon Harry Hyams. And designed by Richard Seifert. Whatever the reason, this prominent building came to be regarded as something of a white elephant until Hyams finally agreed to let it out floor by floor. In 1995 Centre Point became a Grade 2 listed building and despite being described by Pevsner. If you...
