A short while back, @JudyEv and I had a quick chat about an underground fire in an old coal mine. We couldn’t remember any of the details and I soon forgot about it.
I look on YouTube to watch the NBC Evening News, which they...

I have previously touched on the small flourishes added to Tube Stations, mostly overlooked, that give a little taste of local character.
Leicester Square is home to a number of cinemas and UK film premiers are frequently held...

One of the places I was keen to visit on our recent trip to South Australia and the Northern Territory was Coober Pedy. This is an opal-mining town but is also now highly geared to cater for tourists.

My wife just read a book titled"Reliquary" by the same authors who wrote "The Relic." They are both in that Stephen King sort of category that are far to scary for me to even think about reading.
But, "Reliquary" seems to be...

At Embankment Tube Station, there is a typo that has been around for years and, can be, rather misleading.
In the passageway to the Bakerloo Line the route map shows a stop at Willesden Green (8th from the top). The right half of...

Earlier in the week I spent a morning ambling around Town, following a list of 'quirky' things I wanted to see.
