    London bridge is falling down!

    Hammersmith Bridge closed after cracks worsen in heatwave - BBC News

    Hammersmith Bridge has been closed to pedestrians after cracks in the structure worsened following the recent heatwave. The 133-year-old bridge was closed indefinitely to motorists in April 2019 after "critical faults" in the cast iron casing were found. Hammersmith and Fulham Council shut the bridge to pedestrians and cyclists at 17:00 on Thursday.

      Maybe some American will buy it and stick it in the desert
      Brexit is having a wee in the middle of the room at a house party because nobody is talking to you, and then complaining about the smell.

          London infrastructure is appalling. Where the **** does all the council tax and business rates go?

                    I dunno, you could just be like the Italians where they find the cracks after everyone has died.
