  1. The high level of murder in London must gradually be pushing it lower down the list.

    1. Sinking fast. Now with more murders than New York. The Thames Barrier won't save them.

  2. The major disaster the world will suffer will be a tsunami from the Canary Islands when the volcano erupts one day which will radiate across the Atlantic to the eastern US cities and north to Portugal and the Mediterranean and Europe. Lisbon will get it full on. New York will have three hours to evacuate.

    1. I hope the storm Florence now heading for US east coast is not as savage as Princess Anne's canine beast of the same name, the dog that killed the Queen's favourite corgi. ;-).

      Of course, as well as El Hiero which you mention it'd be curtains for millions if Yellowstone caldera erupted, or one of about a couple of dozen others around the world. It's only a matter of when. And here we all are on this planet squabbling like children in a playground sandbox.

  3. The Lisbon earthquake and resulting tsunami of 1755 formed Barleycove beach here in Southwest Ireland near me.

    1. Yes, you're not safe either Dave! None of us are. Maybe you should start building a polytunnel ark? They were lucky after the quake the other day in Hokkaido, the generators at their nuclear power plants managed to kick in. We thought it'd go the way of Fukushima for a while locals reported. Japan is a land sitting on top of a volcanic Swiss cheese. And Mount Fuji is overdue. And yet, we're all at odds with each other. It's a reet queer do.

  4. Then again we could be hit by a meteorite or invaded by aliens. Trouble at mill could happen at anytime.

    1. Dismal and very sad. Dixon of Dock Green now seems like something from a Fairy Tale, almost a ghost. Millions of Londoners have never heard of him.
