    I've never noticed it and it certainly hasn't caused me any breathing difficulties etc.

    He's right you know. If you leave London they come in the night and move it and you can never, ever find it again. Plus, at 31, your life is nearly over...focus man!

    Annual Particulate levels in London around 13-15. Hong Kong is above WHO standards most days, and like today closer to double. That's around 6 times higher than London.

    Maybe he harks back to the days of pea soupers and has been around here ever since. That would make him about 96.
