A Bad Idea
What idiot thought it would be a good idea to have a pop festival on Blackheath?
I’m not against the idea of the festival, but surely the event was going to raise the ire of the residents, who would use every trick, legal or otherwise, in the book to stop it. So the venture will probably run out of money well before it is due to go ahead!
Perhaps the person who thought of the idea has more money than sense!
But I do like the name of the company behind the festival. They are called Nimby Events. So perhaps it’s just a publicity stunt!
Proceeding Along the Balls Pond Road
Policemen always used to proceed rather than walk. A policeman friend, explained it was a steady gait, that allowed you to observe what was happening as you patrolled.
A few days ago, I was walking along the Balls Pond Road in a westerly direction and was surprised to see two people in high-visibililty jackets in the top front seats of a number 38 bus. It struck me as unusual as those who wear these types of yellow jackets seem to be rarely seen on buses.
When the bus passed me, I saw it was two police officers and they were observing all around from their high perch.
So are the Metropolitan Police saving money by using buses? It sounds a good idea to me, as high up as they were, they would be getting an execellent view of the traffic and the people on the street. They also had just crossed a junction, where a pedestrian had been hit by a car, which had then driven off.
How To Make Money From Light Bulbs
You sell them to the Ministry of Defence according to this report from the BBC.
It has always been thus? I can remember stories like Lockheed selling toilet seats to the USAF for hundreds of dollars, when they could be bought for just a few dollars in many stores.
The military has always been a soft touch and not just in the UK.
