ObTransport: the Rotherhithe tunnel -- narrow and windy?

It was be possible to cross the river on foot by the Rotherhithe tunnel
by using the stairs on each side of the river. It was noisy, especially
near sharp bends where tires scraped against the sidewalks. So I would
say "narrow and winding".

Do you remember whether the Rotherhithe tunnel had flowers growing above
the entrance in the early 80s?

It looks like it still is, in principle -- there are footpath-like
(er) "footpaths" on either side of the roads through it. But I
really wouldn't fancy trying to walk it, unless for some reason I
felt myself particularly resistant to exhaust fumes.

The trouble is it's not windy enough to get rid of those exhaust fumes!

And I agree "winding" is better than "windy"; the difference between
"windy" (winding) and "windy" (breezy) is clear when spoken, but
non-existant when written.

The solution is to spell it "windey". If enough people do, the
dictionaries will follow...
