Did you know?

In the Victorian era, Londoners flocked to the Aldgate Pump for its famously sweet-tasting water.

But health officers discovered the grim truth: the pump’s supply was filtering through soil saturated with thousands of decomposing corpses from nearby churchyards.

It shows a photograph of two children pumping water from the Aldgate Pump.

Councils are banning putting batteries in the bin, so what on earth should you do with them?
Some councils don’t want you simply chucking them out, so Stuff explains what you should do with your batteries.

I always do a double take with those headlines that go, "Man Critical After Crash". I always imagine some bloke lying in a hospital bed saying "Did you see the way he was driving? Should've been driving nails. And what about the shoes on that nurse? What was she *thinking* this morning?!"

I was going for a #southerngothic type thing, what with the white picket fence and the droopy tree.

Atmospheric looking photo. White picket fence in foreground, droopy tree over the fence. We're at a street corner, on the other side of the street, there is a house with a pale wooden fence, We can see into a brightly lit lounge room. A weird luminosity hangs all across the photo

I wish advertisers would retire that tired old "for the price of a coffee a day..."
That's REAL MONEY these days.
Say $7? (not even the most expensive) x 365?
That really adds up.
