The Freaky Trigger Blog Summary throws up some amusing sentences. I’m sure everyone’s noticed it, but like the slow kid in class I’ll spell it out:

OVERGROUND RIVERS : 2 – The Lea
The Lea is a complicated river. For a start, it has two names, Lea & Lee. The river is no longer a dividing line, but historically it defined the eastern edge of London. After the Romans left, The Lea was t[…]
