I was two in 1980.
I remember 1984. On the news the police were beating up some unwashed looking types that the media referred to as miners.

That's a Viennetta, which is better than a Viennese Swirl, I doubt if either of them have anything to do with Vienna

Danish pastries do though, the Danes acknowledge to true inventors, according to an internet meme I saw. So it must be true.Le_Fromage_Grande wrote: ↑Wed Aug 23, 2023 3:40 pmThat's a Viennetta, which is better than a Viennese Swirl, I doubt if either of them have anything to do with Vienna

"In Danish, Norwegian, and Swedish, the term for Danish pastry is wienerbrød (or wienerbröd), meaning "Viennese bread"."
So Danish Pastries are from Vienna?
But the following sentence says " In Vienna, the Danish pastry is called Kopenhagener Plunder, referring to Copenhagen, or Dänischer Plunder."
So they're from Denmark?

Re: Any London members taking up Khan's scrappage offer?
So it turns out that a scientific report stated that ULEZ will have no impact at all on air quality, then the Mayor's office contacted the scientist to attempt to manipulate them into changing the report.
Seriously is this really going on in 2023? WTF?!

Re: Any London members taking up Khan's scrappage offer?
Not that I give a toss about Khan, or ulez, or London ffs, but by all accounts none of these Imperial College 'reports' are peer reviewed so they're no better than educated opinion
Amusing that (a) the slant and emphasis of conclusion can be so easily altered, and still rely upon the same data (b) that they can be so readily persuaded to do it

Re: Any London members taking up Khan's scrappage offer?
My brother-in-law has COPD, it's his own fault for smoking, he's given up long ago but hey ho. Anyway, during lockdown his COPD got better, not a little bit, it vanished. As soon as the traffic was back so was the COPD. He lives in Dulwich. There are many similar stories of people with respiratory problems getting better in lockdown, ulez can't happen fast enough in my opinion.
Re: Any London members taking up Khan's scrappage offer?
Well Khan says 9 out of 10 cars are compliant anyway, so nothing will change at all in regards to your brother in laws health. ULEZ doesn't stop anything, it just puts a £12.50 charge to carry on for those who aren't compliant. So again, ULEZ makes no difference.Pirahna wrote: ↑Wed Aug 23, 2023 7:02 pm My brother-in-law has COPD, it's his own fault for smoking, he's given up long ago but hey ho.

During lock down, ULEZ compliant cars weren't being driven, after lock down, they are.
