I genuinely wouldn't have a problem with public executions.

You're clearly in the wrong job then.

Only the other week there was the story of all the small traders who'd
laid out thousands on pitches in some Olympic Food Market and sold
hardly anything.

Part of the problem there was apparently the way the Olympic stewards
were told to steer everyone onto public transport to get them as far
away as soon as possible, rather than lurking around to be customers.

Shops near the Cutty Sark were complaining about the same thing.

Not surprised at those prices - £95 a ticket for a trip up a scummy
stinking ex-industrial river aka Lee.

So I'm not surprised that the water taxi's gone bust. But I wonder who
was running the company and who the drivers were? I bet they were
greedy speculators out for a quick buck and were not river-folk.

Could it by chance be one of the Heathrow - Central London taxi drivers on
his summer hols?
