Guy was way to white to pull that off. Clarence Thomas would have done a better job.
It is a widely-held belief that Thomas Crapper designed the first flush toilet in the 1860s. It was actually 300 years earlier, during the 16th century, that Europe discovered modern sanitation. The credit for inventing the flush toilet goes to Sir John Harrington, godson of Elizabeth I, who invented a water closet with a raised cistern and a small downpipe through which water ran to flush the waste in 1592. He built one for himself and one for his godmother; sadly, his invention was ignored for almost 200 years: it was was not until 1775 that Alexander Cummings, a watchmaker, developed the S-shaped pipe under the toilet basin to keep out the foul odours.
In 1848, the government decreed that every new house should have a water-closet (WC) or ash-pit privy. "Night soil men" were engaged to empty the ash pits. However, after a particularly hot summer in 1858, when rotting sewage resulted in "the great stink (pictured right in a cartoon of the day)", the government commissioned the building of a system of sewers in London; construction was completed in 1865. At last, deaths from cholera, typhoid and other waterborne diseases dropped spectacularly.
In 1848, a new wave of cholera was sweeping westwards
across Europe. By June an epidemic was raging in Moscow and
by September it had reached Hamburg and Paris. Watching its
spread with anxiety, the British Government, after several failed
attempts, passed the Public Health Act on the last day of August
1848, establishing a General Board of Health for a provisional
five-year period. George Rosen notes that the activities of the
Board of Health were, from the beginning, resisted by “vested
interests” who opposed the new regulations in the name of
property rights and human freedom (3). As the criticism be-
came more vociferous and the Board of Health increasingly
unpopular, Parliament refused to renew the Act after the first
five years and the National Board of Health, at least in that
form, came to an end. Chadwick was forced into retirement,
albeit with a generous government benefit.
Yes, bike lanes thru the circle as well as auto lanes. Even at surface level, that must be nutz!View attachment 56034
Is it just me... doesn't that look confusing as hell at first glance?
I assume at ground level with good signs it's probably not as confusing.
Is that a bicycle lane going over everything?

It is happening all over. It still has traffic lights which seem to the thing here in the US.That would literally never work in the US.

Friday, I went over this redesigned overpass to a job. The driver ahead of me did need a blast of my air horn as encouragement though.
They swapped the lanes so there is much less crossover and left turns to get on the interstate.

I watched this pedestrian and bicycle overpass get build in north Seattle.

As a bike rider it is truly a game changer to get off the streets.
I don't mean the bike over pass. I meant the auto part of the interchange. Americans can barely handle divergent diamonds or one lane rotaries.It is happening all over. It still has traffic lights which seem to the thing here in the US.

Even the simplest of traffic circles here are completely beyond the ability of the simplest of drivers to negotiate. I don't mind the circles, they could improve traffic flow, except for the stupid fucking morons that can't grasp the concept.That would literally never work in the US.
@Zorba
It took a blast of air horn to move the jackhole through ahead of me, so yes there is resistance. Since this is a picture thread here is the truck I was driving, after it got bashed by a 944 loader on a crowded jobsite last week. He was apparently driving by braille.
Here is the lineup.
