Low Flying Aircraft



Me at Nothing to See Here on Woolwich's great and pointless free ferry. A fun thing about the area that I forgot to mention was the slightly chilling proximity of City Airport. Perhaps it's coming from Southampton that makes me romantic and/or sentimental about ferries or trains and generally hostile to air travel (other than questions durational and environmental) - the town was essentially killed by Heathrow, making the entire reason for its existence as passenger port superfluous, leaving it as a place that has been trying ever since to decide what it's for, eventually settling on shopping as the answer.

Heh heh - the awful bear pit at West Quay recently came sixth in a survey of the most lucrative shopping centres in Britain. An accolade at last...
