Today....


I saw this http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4050/4703673738_5558db24e4_m.jpg ( tiny black spec ) in sky


So, I stopped & took this photo.....


It turned out to be a cage/cable car carrying two workers upward at about a 40 degree angle.


Right to the top of the Crystal Palace Transmitter ( and back ) for 20 minutes of maintenance


All this suspended by a single cable 719 ft above the ground



Who the f*ck does that for a job


( nice view though )



W**F




Wow - how scary is that! Rather them than me, thats for sure....


I will never again moan about my working hazards which consist of not being obsequious enough and risking furious glances for not placing my non-reusable coffee cup in the correct recycling bin.

Haha, people who get all anal about sorting recycling crack me up, when it gets to the dump

they tip all the carefully sorted stuff into one pile and then bulldoze it into a corner, I've seen them doing it at the dump in camberwell!

    • Sadly, but not unreasonably, councils find it difficult to justify such expenditure on their current budgets. My family, which does like fireworks have been enjoying the displays by those still with disposable wealth by viewing them from Hilly Fields. Other hills (Dawson Heights) are available. For children who have autumn and winter birthdays, a firework display is some consolation for their birthday climate. My grandchildren, being summer babies, can enjoy garden parties and picnics. Without the need for explosions and dazzling display. 
    • Hey - I’ve got a spare adult ticket if you want it?
    • Not sure what you mean by "involved with firework enjoyment"? I'm all for others enjoying themselves, and I like fireworks, but if they were limited to public displays then people could still enjoy them? Having said that, I see that tickets for the London New Year fireworks start at £20 (Dawson's Heights it is,  then!) The fireworks in Brockwell Park used to be free. I don't know why those don't happen any more?
    • Really interesting discussion here. It's difficult to respect the views of people who support Farage, Trump, Musk etc. Why should we, when their views are deplorable. But then that exact 'deplorable' label, as we know, is counterproductive and drives people to double down / switch off to more progressive views. How do you actually help change minds? We're currently spiralling into dark places culturally and politically imo. The amount of open racism, even amongst front line politicians here and in the US is astounding to me. Feels like we're going backwards. The influence of social media and the tech billionaires / bros, is a powerful and largely malignant one. There was an enlightening (and frightening) bit of journalism by Sky this week about Musk's influence on British politics. He has a strange obsession with the UK and London in particular (as do many on the US right wing): https://news.sky.com/story/the-x-effect-how-elon-musk-is-boosting-the-british-right-13464487
