Random London Fact of the Day
Remember yesterday how we pondered where the Thames transitions from freshwater to saltwater? Reader Marc Dickson offers further information: "A very quick Google throws up this link (PDF) for the Mayor’s estuary Airport scheme. Page nine is quite clear: Lambeth is lowest point at which the river can be considered fresh, from there to the River Darent (down Dartford way) is the brackish zone and east of there is saltwater all the way." So Caroline Halstead-Smith's suggestion, that Blackfriars Bridge is the vague transition point, certainly holds some water, so to speak. Tomorrow, we have yet another take on the matter...
Good Cause of the Day
Today RESULTS UK, an international advocacy organisation working to end global poverty, is putting on a screening of ‘They Go To Die’, to support its wider campaign on the tuberculosis epidemic in southern Africa’s gold mines. The film follows the lives of four former migrant goldmine workers in South Africa and Swaziland who have contracted drug-resistant tuberculosis (TB) while working at the mines. When the miners fail to improve their TB status at the mining hospital, they are sent back to their communities with no continuation of care or means for treatment. This practice is often referred to as “being sent home to die” by health officials. The screening is tonight at Ritzy Cinema, Brixton at 7pm.
