  1. You really ought to get out of the house more, especially at night, I'd suggest.


  2. has the song goes its a dirty old town.

  3. smog, pollution etc.

  4. Because London is too lit up as a city to see past the city lights to the dark sky above.

    Same in most large cities in the world.

  5. Greenwich antique market is a good star spotter or opening nights of shows i have seen loads

  6. LIGHT pollution

    and you are never out that late?

  7. There is a lot of light pollution in the London area. All those street lights in the area block the light coming from the stars. Also the pollution in the air from the traffic etc affects the visibility.

  8. When I lived in Bermondsey, the only star that I could see was the Pole Star, the other stars were blocke dout by strong lights and polution.

    If you are talking about TV stars, Des Lynam and Jade Goody's grandparents live in Bermondsey!

  9. it is all the light pollution from street lamps, cars & buildings

  10. I saw Madonna recently. & JK Rowling walking her dogs in the park. Both daytime tho. I also saw Al Pacino at pinewood studios, do they get much bigger?

  11. the main cause of that is light pollution from all the lights in london

  12. as said b4 ..light pollution
