ULEZ means about 1,500 sq kilometres - the whole of Greater London - is covered by road emissions control.
Stop and think about that for a second. It's incredible. Its impact on public health has been huge.
Studies said it would take 200 YEARS to reach this emission level. Khan did it in five.

I don’t have a cat, but that means that the neighbourhood cats all use my garden. Here are two of them inspecting my new EV charging point. (I say new because they literally turned up the same day and that’s the only time I’ve seen them there.)

Once told the chef at my regular cafe that I was dubious about ordering the trout because I didn't want my food looking back at me. She assured me she'd take care of it. I thought she meant cut off the head, but no - it was served with a little lettuce blindfold.

Looking at the Odeon blurb for Thunderbolts, they claim that the team was created by Peter David and Mike Deodato. It's true that they first appeared in a Hulk issue, but I feel like Kurt Busiek (who wrote the main series) deserves some of the credit!
