So, the sailing venue where they had to send in thousands of Chinese soldiers to clear out algal growth. What's happened to it now? Has it all grown back again?
It's re-appeared in the canal near me.
Ah - Prescott Channel?
Well, I jolly well have not been to the Prescott Channel in a while, as it's all closed off due to Lympic development. But loads of Duckweed seems to flow down from the River Lea, and ends up in the Limehouse Basin, where it has to be dealt with before it enters the Thames. Apparently, it's proliferation is in part due to the fact that the canals are much less polluted these days!
Did you know, that the Thames is one of the cleanest rivers of any capital city on Earth?
And have you checked out my pictorial route guide on Duntmatters 'riding in London again' thread?

I had a piss in the lee yesterday, dunno if it's reached london yet 🙂
Ian - the lee of what exactly? I know the wind has changed direction today but......
The flash by us has this seriously dodgy algea in it, properly toxic, or it's poo is. They used to pump drainage water from the mines into it and I was hoping the algea would be some kind of alien fungi from outer space that once activated by sunlight turns into huge great human eating dinosaur dogs but sadly that's not happened.
Its sounds like its done some work on you though 😛
as far as the original post goes, didn;t the chinese government work out that introducing carp into the lake would get it cleaned up fairly sharpish?
Samuri - is "carp" a typo? 😉
