You learn, new tricks, everyday. It's huge, almost too big and hopefully, will become cleaner. With the extension of ULEZ. It was a tough call. To extend it. But I truly believe, that it will, make a difference, to air quality.
After seeing the panoramic pictures of London I must say I prefer the views from top of Ben Nevis…
Free of charge all year long
Not before.
Then it occurred to me that its in Watch Dogs : Legion
Will still try and visit to see if I can get in
