Peak time at Victoria

Not a single window open. TfL, you suck. Oh, you knew that already?

But we knew that all along. (If you don't know what I'm talking about, check my yesterday's post.)

Today, Metro publishes a letter from a reader who was equally surprised by the non-story.

Scary shit

Metro, page 3. A photographer captures a "ghost". Metro devotes a whole page and 7 paragraphs of text to it, quoting the stunned photographer, a certain Mr Baevsky, as saying: "My background suggests there must be some logic behind it. I can't decide on a plausible explanation."

Dear Mr Baevsky. This is your own shadow. This is what happens when you take a picture with your back to the sun and fog in front of you. Coincidentally, rainbow is also only seen when water particles happen to be in the air in front of you and the sun shines behind you.

Dear Metro. The only ghost present here is that of dead journalism.
