Proud to be British….

Queen Anne decreed that as the new church was close to the river it would be a convenient place of registry for sea captains to register vital events taking place at sea. Therefore, she gave St. Anne's Church the right to display the second most senior ensign of the Royal Navy, the White Ensign. The prominent tower with its golden ball on the flagstaff became a Trinity House "sea mark" on navigational charts, and the Queen's Regulations still permit St. Anne's Limehouse to display the White Ensign 24 hours a day, 365 days a year.
 
Shame about the speed bumps.

Are they a British disease, or do other countries have them?

But, otherwise, a lovely scene.

London, you can’t move for cars and people. I read it here. Moslem murders and rapists, too.

PS There’s one in the lower picture, hiding in the trees, as the dark johnnies do. It’s their jungle instincts.

When my house catches fire or I have an MI, I just hope that there's none between the Fire Truck/Ambulance and me!

The latest craze around here is letting out parking spaces on the internet. Bods then park huge cars, blocking the access roads, to anything much larger than a pushbike. Caaahnts (to use the local vernacular) the lot of them.

Northen European disease mostly, I'd say. London being a prime example. Councils also put them in for pushbikes.
Funniest thing is: they do actually increase pollution/emissions. But out local councils decide to gloss over that in the name of "net zero". :D :D :D

Happy St. George's.
