  • If we ignore air resistance and assume the masses are falling in a vacuum then the force on each object is proportional to their mass. This means that if one object is twice as large as the other then the force on it is twice the size and hence both…
  • I saw the dogs at Finsbury Park a couple of weeks ago. Mercifully, they didn't approach me as I would have been tempted to give a similar reply to that I gave to the cops who stopped me outside Bethnal Green tube the day after the London bombings in…

  • The elephant hedge : wonderful isn't it? Not mine though; it's in Mount Pleasant Crescent while I'm in Mount Pleasant Villas. I don't even own a hedge.
  • Hello to all. I've lived in the area since 1986 first in Ossian Road and then, since 1995, in Mount Pleasant Villas. I've looked at this forum from time to time more or less since it started up but have only just got around to joining. I had a ca…
