It can’t be easy being a bus driver. The incessant traffic, protests, rude and miserable people, the odd terrorist, heatwaves in the summer, freaky rain, wind or snow in the winter. I guess it is much like being a tour guide except we also have to put up with transport strikes! I think the behaviour… Continue reading How London bus drivers changed the health of the world

Dr Alfred Salter – The man who created an NHS before the NHS was created
My walk of discovery along the southern bank of the Thames through Bermondsey and Rotherhithe was proving to reveal all manner of hidden gems of London both past and present.

Last week England were thrashed in the first match of the Ashes Tour in Australia. Though many players performed below par, one player played particularly below his best. His name is Jonathan Trott and anyone watching the game could see that he wasn’t enjoying himself. He was described by Australian star David Warner as being… Continue reading Depression is no laughing matter
