Londoners told to reduce physical activity on Friday due to pollution.

Don’t need to be asked twice!

I don’t need to be asked twice either Maw...and I don’t even live in London.?
I will text a friend who does live there though and advise her to not run up and down Primrose Hill tomorrow.

Btw...does that doggy ever get out of bed??

As I'd said a couple of days ago--pollution kills more people than a pandemic.

Might be better if they banned cars for the day.

In China when this happens, they shut the factories and ban cars.

Today’s pollution levels in London are nothing like the ones in China! Thank goodness.

Actually, at the moment, they are almost identical.

Nevermind older people, they should also mention younger children whose developing lungs are often damaged by pollution in the capital.

It would seem much of China exceeds London levels.

Bejing was 152 an hour ago, sorry I can't copy the chart.

You would have to compare capital with capital to show a better comparison.

Occasionally- to move over to a sofa.
Any fule kno that greyhounds need at least 35 hours sleep a day

Fengxian Nanao is a new and up-to-date city.

"Open and green space is integrated throughout the Fengpu Avenue master plan, including forest-parks, community activity spaces, waterfront corridors and green walkways. Greenery is also embedded throughout the avenue itself, enhancing quality of life, fostering the adjacent community and creating a seamless connection between the two sides of the avenue."

It sounds like an ideal blueprint for building new towns.

Unfortunately we can't demolish and redesign all the old cities.

Really? Population of SH, 25m. Population of Ldn, 8/9m.

Beijing 97 right now.

The UK isn't as clean as we think.

I didn't say it was clean! We have a lot to do here to improve matters.

I know you've worked in China but it doesn't mean others of us are totally ignorant about China. DD's friends are from there, some our friends DC work there in various areas and at least one lot moved on from there to work in another country simply because of the constant smog and pollution.

Beijing 97 right now.

Because a lot of people are asleep, not driving.

That's odd, we must be looking at different charts.

Anyway, I was going to change the bed and clean the house thoroughly tomorrow but I'm happy to take the advice and reduce my physical activity.
Even though I don't live in London.

I do live in London, I shall fully observe the advice ???

China's record on human rights? China's record on treatment of the Uighur Muslims? But I bet they're brilliant on homosexual or transgender rights........... or maybe not. But they're brilliant......... on something......... I'm sure I'll remember in a minute or so.........

In the Paris area and other big towns when the pollution level gets too high, the government only allow the cars with an even number plate to drive one day, then on the following day it would be the uneven number. We haven’t had that for two years now.

London smogs killed my grandmother.
