No. 63 to Kings X - approx 60 minutes if you catch one before 8.00am - after that can add a further 10 - 20 mins to journey times.

Plenty more flaneurs-by-proxy out and about between Elephant&Castle and Tower Bridge this morning


Apart from the odd gobshite who feels his consumer rights have been violated, I think it actually makes people more pleasant as they have to think outside the box and realise that (f'rinstance) no-one needs to pay to go down several floors, wait for a tube at Picadilly Circus and then change at Leicester Sq when they can just walk 70 yards

But Ocado lost £500m that year on approximately 20 million orders (circa 400k orders per week). So, averaging out to £25 lost per order. Ocado pauses building new warehouses as annual losses balloon to £500m | Ocado | The Guardian  Obviously, the £500m loss includes various factors. But Ocado has existed for 25 years and only made a small profit in a couple of those years. The rest have been huge losses.
