So I just followed that link from the Insider, to the Most Excluse Website[^].
And then I actually visited the website.
And guess who was currently being served... That's right, mr. Adolf Hitler. I kid you not!
And before saying there's always some Hitler or Napoleon or something like that, I just had an Adrian, Moshpell, Daisy and Walfaera, so I guess that's not true

Last Saturday was my first experience driving through fog. Although it rains a lot here, fog is not that common. It was somewhere around here. It started at the exit of a tunnel - all was well on one side, but the exit of the tunnel looked like a curtain was drawn across it.
Visibility was less than 10 meters, and the car in front disappeared completely. What was quite unbelievable was the number of vehicles driving without any lights. Oncoming traffic would pop out of the fog suddenly, like a video game. So many clueless drivers, quite hair raising on bends. I guess this is quite ordinary in London?

And then there was me who slept all weekend like a lazy dog in one of the hotels in Shinjuku.

I vaguely recall a time when I slept all weekend. Very vaguely.
How long are you visiting? I wish there were more CPians here, we could hold a meetup then.

Oh, I wish we could, but unfortunately I am leaving on Friday evening and don't think will be able to get any time off in the middle of the week.

Mandatory check: are you still in the same country? some times it happens that people get abducted when leaving a tunnel through fog...

Well I didn't see any Perfectly Normal Beasts, so I guess I'm still here in the same old universe.

You may have to wait for the next migration: they came through a couple of weeks ago. Good eating!

Fog is not so uncommon here, but still most people do not know how to deal with it. We have a brighter rear lght for that purpose. It's quite annying for those driving behind you, so you are supposed to turn it on when the visibility is very low and when nobody is behind you. This way anyone coming up behind you is warned by this bright red light and once you notice headlights behind you, you should turn it off. And what do most people do? Turn it on at the slightest hint of fog or rain, and leave it on when someone is driving after them. Some even turn it on after someone has already come up from behind and sucessfully avoided crashing into them.
It happens every year, jst like there always be snow in winter, yet most people drive like they have never seen this before.

I don't think London has seen fog since about 1957.

Gor blimey, mister, we ain't seen a proper peasouper since that Clean Air Act awright but there's still been fog. We're right on top of a bleedin' river, ain't we?

Yes, I realized how stupid that sounded after posting it. Plenty of other countries have fog, it is just the stereotype from what I've read. London = rain and fog, California = sunshine (not the CP variety) etc
Why 1957 in particular?

We have less rain than many countries these days; it is hot (26C) and dry as I type this.

It was round about then that the government banned the use of coal (and other dirty fuels) for domestic use, thus reducing the pollution in the air and the resulting smog(smoke filled fog) in the winter. The overall weather patterns and infrastructure also began to change which affected the amount of fog produced.

It has been almost that thick here since yesterday in Vancouver BC. Unfortunately due to the smoke from all the forest fires this year... 
|

That is terrible. I was over there this time last year and the air was beautiful and clean. Although not quite as clean as when I was travelling there between 1963 and '65.
