Water, super-sewers and the filth threatening the River Thames
The Thames may be cleaner than it was in Victorian times, but it is still laden with sewage. As London celebrates 150 years of its sewer system, it seems that improving it is as politically fraught as it was in the days of the Great Stink
"Water is the giver of life," says the great-great-grandson of the engineer who revolutionised London's sewerage system. "That's why people always ask if there's water on Mars to support life. But it is also bringer of death, as we saw in the 19th century."
Quite so. Before Sir Peter Bazalgette's great-great-grandfather Joseph built 1,300 miles of sewers and river embankments in London in the 1860s, raw sewage flowed into the tidal section of the Thames and got stalled in a hellishly insanitary circulation system. The stench of what politician Benjamin Disraeli in the mid-19th century called the "Stygian pool" was bad enough referencing the River Styx of Greek mythology, which formed the boundary between Earth and the underworld but, worse, Londoners bathed in and drank this water. "Before the great embankments were built, the Thames flowed more gently so the shit went up and down and people were drawing their own effluent," says Bazalgette. If you're eating your breakfast, apologies for that last sentence.

Why Welsh should be taught in British schools
Regardless of what happens in the Scottish independence referendum, its time to end the English domination of Wales and Scotland
Last weekend I took part in a festival called Gwyl Arall in my home in north Wales, where I gave a talk in Welsh (well actually, half Welsh the organisers were kind enough to make allowances for my deteriorating skills). When I told friends in England what I was doing, many responded as though Id just announced I was travelling to the Acropolis to deliver a sermon in ancient Greek. People still speak Welsh? is a common refrain all Cymrys living in England are accustomed to hearing.
Welsh evolved from Brittonic (meaning indigenous Breton, as opposed to Anglo-Saxon), and until the Romans came along, it was spoken in England too. The Welsh language is not a backwards, insignificant thing; it is a fundamental part of Britains collective history. I find it absurd that so few English people realise it is still spoken in families and communities across Wales, as part of a Brittonic culture which has survived through the ages. As part of my childhood, I learned traditional Welsh dance (downsio gwerin), recited Welsh poetry and sang Cerdd Dant (a type of vocal and harp music) during Eisteddfodau (the Welsh culture festival). I joined the Urdd (the Welsh League of Youth); read the Mabinogion (a collection of Welsh mythological stories) in school; and I spoke Welsh so fluently I barely noticed when people switched from English to Welsh. I did all these things as part of an indigenous Celtic culture Ive inherited by being born in Wales a culture that isnt unique to my small and beautiful corner of the country, but at one time reached across Britain and has helped shape it.
