Now you’ve got me wondering. A combustion engine consumes a staggering amount of air, in the process capturing pollen in its air filter. Once the majority of cars are electric will pollen levels increase by a noticeable amount?

There's a certain irony in complaining about a low emissions zone (to help lower the particle counts in cities) and then pointing out that the pollen is doing you over
I thought you were going to highlight the irony in complaining that the hospital - for sick people - wasn’t kept outside of the low emission zone.

All good on that Mito ??
Yes thanks for asking.
The air quality here has been poop for the past few weeks, I imagine it's worse in London. Hopefully the cause is something like that, external rather than internal.
The new ULEZ zone seems to have some anomalies

Yes thanks for asking. I go in every 6 months for a head MRI and then have another appointment a few weeks after for a blood test and a consultant pokes my lymph nodes. I did tell them today that my lungs sometimes hurt a bit when I breath in but just put it down to dusty weather/pollen etc.
This then escalated to them wanting to do a full body CT scan tomorrow at 6pm so now I’m bricking it.
Good stuff!!
I’m sure the scan will be fine. I’m coughing like a bastard at the moment due to a combo of dusty weather and air con
