If one conks out when you're flying, you can (usually) restart it by 'windmilling' it - like bump-starting a car going downhill.
They may feel that, if it's popular anyway, they don't need to bother themselves too much?Given the popularity of that area for tourists (for many many years now) I'd say somebody in the tourist dept of the local authorities or whoever is responsible wants a bloody good kick up the arse.
It was the stench that I didn't like when passing through Paris in May 2008 but maybe it wasn't as hot during your recent visit.
Not having been there in May 2008 I cannot confirm or deny the stench but thanks for the information.
In May 2008 I just thought what a shame it was that France never had a Joseph Bazalgette.
Clearly you need to get out less.
Yes indeed.
Hope the chemo does it 's job well , and isn't knocking you about too much @BobClay . Think you need a big forumWhile getting Chemo yesterday I was given a large box of goodies, in a quality canvas shopping bag. This apparently is a charity set up a few years ago by a lady receiving Chemo who decided there were a number of items that would come in handy while you're bolted to the chair taking on cargo. So everybody taking Chemo gets one !!
Incredibly impressive list of items:
Quality steel flask,
Games,
Colouring book and crayons (includes a sharpener.)
Crisps and other munchies.
Squeeze ball.
Excellent multicompartment pill planning box (definitely needed.)
Quality pair of woolly socks.
Quality woolly bobble hat. (For the Yul Brynner moment ..OH, and anybody here who says they've never heard of Yul Brynner .. IT'LL BE .50 CALIBRE TIME.)
Lots of other things too, (full list on their website

I'm so impressed I went up and donated to their charity first thing this morning.
God made you in his image, so he was a sinner too.Had a walk into town , only to be told by some crackpot doing a loud shouty thing about Jesus that lots of us people in town today would be dead by the end of the day , and that today was the day for me to repent and only Jesus could save me .
Finally got a date for the move ... watch this space....
(Fully refundable incase dates suddenly change , or wouldn't have chanced it...)
If we can ban chuggers why can’t we can nutjobs spewing hate and vitriol?Had a walk into town , only to be told by some crackpot doing a loud shouty thing about Jesus that lots of us people in town today would be dead by the end of the day , and that today was the day for me to repent and only Jesus could save me .
You've obviously not been to Birmingham city centre recently. Pick a god and their paramilitary wing is out in force, shouting at you through their megaphones about how damned you are unless you sign up to their particular brand of religion. As bad as it was before COVID and just as unforgiving.
I don't mind anyone saying what they think as I can easily ignore them.
The ones in town who were with the guy doing the shouty bit yesterday were approaching people with leaflets or something and giving them some spiel at the time I was walking past in an already p1ssed off mood . Not the best time to tell me I'd got a good chance of not making it through the day and should be repent for my sins

Yes being approaching pedestrians with leaflets is as bad as using megaphones or amplifiers.The ones in town who were with the guy doing the shouty bit yesterday were approaching people with leaflets or something and giving them some spiel at the time I was walking past in an already p1ssed off mood .

Unless they're advertising beer, of course.
