crikey good luck with that one. What would Wordsworth have made of it, a storm in a tarn perhaps..

how were the ponds in south norwood formed? are they flooded cess pits?

[DJHawkes]

Oh it is a man made 19th century reservoir. Not exactly the geographical wonder that is the Lake District is it?

[DJHawkes]

#I wandered lonely as a chav
That floats on high o'er flats and kebab shops,
When all at once I saw a heap,
A host, of discarded bike frames and washing machines;
Beside the lake, beneath the trees,
rusting and festering in the breeze......#

[emmie]

oh woe is me to see this place,
where once i walked was full of grace,
and now its concrete and trash
damn i can't think of anything else
byron i ain't
