What happened to the May Day riots? In years gone by London was a war zone, with the shops all boarded up and the police helicopters flying around and around our building like angels of doom.

Last year, though, they hemmed in the protesters outside Nike Town, in the middle of Oxford Circus and kept them there for eight long, boring hours. From the Camvista image of Trafalgar Square it looks like they’re doing the same this year. You can see a ring of yellow-suited policemen keeping the crowd in one place. They’re probably all tourists, anyway.

The BBC London site has a whole array of cameras covering pretty much everywhere in the centre of the city, but they’re all showing the same thing… an error message.

Anyhow, in the unlikely event the protestors should turn nasty (or even turn up) I popped out for a brief lunch then spent the rest of the lunch hour building an online quiz. See if you can differentiate one drink from another in the great Stink Drink Challenge.
