For some reason the BBC doesn't allow sharing of its news material.
Nonetheless the link is for a good clip to mark a historic day

The thoughts of one Londoner arising on the daily commute, life at home, life in the office and the world in general.

Watching the world go by from the London bus of life

Words of Wisdom (a regularly changing quotation) from people famous and not so famous
"The world is a dangerous place, not because of those who do evil, but because of those who look on and do nothing". Albert Einstein
About Me
- Luis
- Male, married and father. Born in Middle England. Raised there and in Malta. Studied Law at Univerity in London. For some strange reason trained as an Accountant (seemed a good idea at the time ?!) Worked for a global firm of accountants, a tired American Auto giant, a Swedish welding company and now for a solid and unusually decent partnership in the City of London. Living somewhere in the outer "burbs" of London. I have travelled quite a lot. One of my few addictions is watching the news. I like watching films ,reading Scandinavian detective stories and newspapers. I have attempted and failed several times to write a novel. I started my blog to vent my frustration in my previous job against the situation and the ignorance of my management. I now do a job I quite enjoy so write about other things that enter my mind while living and working in London. This is a "non-alligned" blog linked to no particular cause or issue but I do not apologise for my partiality on some issues. If what I write either pleases or annoys I will be happy to hear from you !
