London is sinking
The fake London, not the real one.
So far I'm safe but I'll let you know if I need a rope.

LONDON, Ont. - A member of Parliament for London, Ont., is demanding more money for municipalities after a huge sinkhole opened up in the city's downtown core this week.
Irene Mathyssen, who represents London-Fanshawe, has written an open letter to the prime minister asking for a piece of the federal surplus.
A water main at least 60 years old gave out in the city's downtown core Wednesday and left a sinkhole the size and depth of a backyard swimming pool.
Mathyssen says the government gave its economic update the same day, including small tax breaks.
She says the government can obviously afford to give municipalities more money to repair and update crumbling infrastructure.
London Mayor Anne Marie DeCicco-Best and the rest of the Big City Mayors Caucus have been pushing the federal government to give them one cent of the GST for infrastructure problems.
