Shame to hear that the GE Lighting factory is threatened with closure, according to MP Keith Vaz. No doubt GE will have heard of local folklore concerning the toxic waste ‘dumped’ in numerous locations around the 60-year-old factory site.

PS: I have a MSocSci in Industrial Archaeology.

Thanks to Adam I am now a proud owner of a Cartier Santos Dumont – one I can wear in Brazil without fear! (It’s a fake from China).

PS: Statue of Santos getting a good clean.
