Not exactly a euphemism this, more of a figure of speech, but I just heard someone say it:


?There is an elephant in this room and everyone is refusing to see it.?


No there isn?t you silly tart. Have you ever seen an elephant? They?re hard to miss. Great big grey things. Smell like manure.


Daft!


Ok maybe not so daft but it just got to me. Not least because the only reason I think she wanted the elephant out of the room was so that it didn?t obscure her blue sky thinking.


There is an idiot in this room.

    • In deed.   An hour is optimistic. I'd always use the train/tube, so many options from the slowish Picadilly, quick Heathrow Express and Lizzy line in the middle. In the old days I'd go out to Feltham via Clapham Junction and either get a cab from there or the bus to avoid central London Alternatively 3 hours by bus only Or a couple of hours by bike, I have cycled there a few times including illegally going through the tunnel as it is so bike unfriendly.
    • I think it's unfair to say anyone local enquiring, is the same rubbernecking.  The link you posted is for drivers, and those there, not involved, at an incident, and in particular people who photograph and video accidents.  This is not the same.  We all want to know what is happening in our area, particularly if it's about safety.  Isn't that what this forum is for?  I hope the girl and the biker are okay.  
    • Saturday afternoons can be quite busy around London, especially on routes leading to Heathrow. Travel time really depends on where you’re coming from, but traffic on the M25 and surrounding roads can add delays. To avoid stress, many people find that booking a London Airport Taxi is the best option. Professional drivers monitor traffic in real time, choose the fastest routes, and allow extra time when needed, which is especially helpful on weekends. It’s a more reliable and comfortable way to get to Heathrow compared to driving yourself or relying on public transport. Hope that helps 👍
    • Perhaps doesn't count as nature, though it does concern as animal but this morning I was amused to see a cat on a harness and lead walking very sedately alongside it's owner on the pavement at the Elephant and Castle .
