Does anyone know the details of why the lifts (elevators) at the #Woolwich and #Greenwich foot tunnels under the #Thames are so often out of order? I mean I guess the broad reason is lack of money for maintenance but is there a specific reason, is it something that can be fixed, or is this just a case of crumbling Victorian infra that will never work well?
Ooff, the mighty river Thames is not a force to be trifled with, that poor girl 
We went Brexit, which 'liberated' the Water Companies from European rules and now the Boat Race becomes more about dodging the biological and physical hazards in the water than beating the other team.
We can have nice things or we can surrender to Fascism and Gangsters.

in #1970s and #1980s #Britain, we had a kids #TV show called #Rainbow (made by #Thames #Television in #London) with 3 puppet characters (all gendered male) - not only would all 3 share a bed at the end of the night, but the #bear would put on pyjamas (so the rest of the day he was walking around completely naked other than his fur 
). Also George the #hippo was pink and had an obviously camp accent

Mayor Sadiq Khan has brought together a landmark coalition of government, businesses, charities, and community groups to improve #London’s #rivers. Over £1.8 billion will be invested in the next five years to clean and protect the capital's #waterways. Key initiatives include £7.15 million in funding to reduce road run-off pollution, improve flood resilience, and support large-scale rewilding projects. #Thames Water is investing £1.8 billion in river health, including tackling sewage overflows on tributaries. #London #Wildlife Trust will invest £800,000 in local #river projects. The Mayor’s initiative also addresses inequality in access to natural spaces, with research showing lower-income and Black/Asian communities are less likely to visit waterways. This collaboration aims to make rivers cleaner, more accessible, and beneficial for both people and wildlife, aligning with Sadiq's 10-year Clean and Healthy Waterways Plan.

Mum and Dad used to #hire #punts on the #Thames at #Henley and #Wey at #Guildford and #Godalming and take we three children on picnics during the 1950s, so we were used to day trips on small open #boats, but the #Llangollen trip was the first time we'd been near a #canal or stayed overnight on a #boat
Taking place shortly before my 14th birthday did make it a pretty formative event.
Have you seen this? #EdPratt is kayaking down the river #Thames from source to sea. He's also the same guy that rode his #unicycle around the World too. Really cool to watch.
