transportation is a massive one. London is a grimy stinky mess of a place from the massive amount of car exhaust.
Haha, London used to be so much worse. Like, you would spend a couple of days there and when you blew your nose everything came out black.
I remember going to the natural history museum as a kid and feeling sick from all the pollution.
Now it's not a problem at all there.
What decade are we talking about here?
Probably 20 years ago
Yep I remember the black snot days in the late 90s.
Red Ken ftw! Good luck to NYC with their CC too.
By all accounts, it was even worse the 60s though before clean air acts, gas central heating and when all those art galleries were power stations. I don't think Alec Guiness actually did blackface, he probably just walked around in the smog for a few hours (/jk).
Things really have got better if you look long enough.
By Jiminy, those peasoupers used to enough to turn your bowler black. What, what.
I'M NOT THAT OLD
God, I am. I'm as old as the youngest cardinal in the Vatican (45).
And I was a tourist in London so I spent more time outdoors than some office worker.
ironically that was probably worse for your health than staying inside back then 😭😭😭
