KUPKAKE’S KORNER
A letter to Mr Mayor…
Another slap in the face,
20% discounts for bus's fuel,
yet more ammo for our case -
TfL’s discrimination is cruel.
As I’ve said so many times before,
You just want us to disappear,
to be replaced with servile bores,
hired from anywhere - far or near.
"Those middle-aged white cabbies,
with their independent air,
will go the way of dinosaurs…
and really I just don't care."
"Our 21st Century London,
will reflect its' ethnic mix,
there's nowt that can’t be undone…
there’s nothing I can’t fix!"
"Visitors and residents
will have a Hackney fleet,
that will set a precedent,
that others cannot beat…"
"We'll do away with Radio Cabs,
just like New York City!
Oh what jolly fun we'll have
…in a town without pity!"

Science Museum hosts major new
climate change exhibition
The Science Museum has announced details
of a major new exhibition that focuses on technological
solutions to slowing down climate change - Can algae
save the world? Other important questions about
solving climate change’ will aim to engage visitors in
the debate on possible solutions to mitigate climate
change and find out more about one specific technology –
something that should interest Dial-a-Cab drivers -
biofuels.
Among the various objects and interactives featured in the
exhibition is an area dedicated to algae – as one
potential way to help save the planet. Visitors will be
able to see a Mini Algae Farm, a device to grow
algae and learn more about how it could be used as a
biofuel as an alternative to fossil fuels to help save
the planet.
Held in the Science Museum’s Antenna Gallery, the exhibition
follows the government’s recently announced Renewable
Transport Fuel Obligation initiative, which requires
that 5% of fuels sold at the pump by 2010 must be
biofuels.
The free exhibition is sponsored by Siemens and will run in the
Antenna Gallery for six months from 18 October 2007
until April 2008. |
