This seems like a tiny piece of good news in the unrelieved gloom of the news - a colony of short-snouted seahorses is breeding in the River Thames near Grenwich... so the river must be a lot cleaner - and it's a rare breed too. It may signify some degree of global warming, but seahorses are such delightful creatures that it's rather cheering to think of them bumping about in the admittedly rather murky looking waters of the tidal river. Who knows, perhaps there are more breeding off Ramsgate. Why can't we have an aquarium here? An ideal use for the Victoria Pavilion?
