i don't think London should build anymore apartments in that scale 120,000. I think the population and the landscape need to be kept under control.

this is gonna sound liek a pile of Bullshit, but what would happen, if a load of trips by NASA or any other space association and carry thousands of gallons of water into space and drop it? what would happen?

I live in east London and can *just* remember the 1953 flood - dad giving me a piggyback down the road cos the streets were full of water - I'd have been about one year old. Just got rehoused in Tower Hamlets, on the north bank of the river just outside the City; my three criteria were: ground floor - with a garden - not in any flood risk area. happily i think i've got all three, hope I never have to find out.

It would take over 30 years to even empty just the river thames into space... and once its up there it just floats in the atmosphere
