I’m spending a lot of time around Elephant & Castle (no its not a virtual game but rather a southern and definitely dodgy neighborhood of London) and going to get my lunch at the local Tesco. The other day, as I waited for someone at the entrance, an EDF sales person approached me to sell… Continue reading Roadblocks to green decisions

Then I’m back in London for an evening before embarking on the spanking new Eurostar to Bruxelles (2hours 20 minutes…woah) The event I was supposed… Continue reading Accidental tourism
