Cheek by jowl
- Written by Nick Fluck
I had the great good fortune to spend a couple of days in meetings in Strasbourg recently. A very beautiful city to visit - compact old, very old. and also very new. The European Court of Human Rights sits on one of the many waterways through the city - looking, it has to be said, like a badly stacked drum kit. Look at these pictures for a classically Strasbourg contrast.
The age old waterways - once a very thriving trade route and the Court responsible for moving forward the protection of Human Rights - and before anyone complains about the interference of that Court ask yourself which of your human rights do you not want protected?
Getting lonely on the High Street

Eco-friendly public transport in Lisbon
- Written by Nick Fluck
In Lisbon they have old trams in daily use - some dating from the 1930s.
This one has just passed the frontage of the Se Cathedral - the trams are electric and the oldest single car ones travel the most challenging routes around the city up and down the steepest hills and around the tightest corners - the new modern trams are confined to the flatter parts of the city.
The E28 route trams track over the hills and are popular with tourists - particularly so as the streets in the older part of the city are very steep and for those, like me, from a county with nearly half of its total area both flat and below sea level a little mechanical transport is a welcome relief from all the steps between streets.
