With the ongoing PR from Boeing ... last night I was watching a documentary about the first 150 years of the London Underground system. When it opened it had the only kind of locomotives then known - steam engines.

When the pax began complaining about the profusion of smoke and steam on the platforms and in the tunnels - the Metropolitan Railway Ltd replied by, "Publicising the benefits of smoke and steam for health."

Nothing changes ...
