Priceless Paintings from W7

We will have to evacuate part of our house due to the ongoing building works. In particular, the kitchen and dining areas need to be emptied and surrendered to the strong men. The good wife suggested hiring some storage space in a near-by storage facility – it’s the one where they found terrorists’ deposit of fertilizer for bomb making, so it must be good.

Although I am no big friend of these ugly storage buildings appearing everywhere like mushrooms (earlier rant here), this might be a good solution for the imminent but temporary space problem in our home. So I check out the local store online,  and boy! these guys are well connected:

Apparently, they are just a 2 minute drive from both Ealing Broadway and the A4, and Boston Manor Tube is just 10 minutes walk from the store.

Driving 2.2 miles in 2 minutes requires pretty heavy speeding (66 mph, where the legal limit is 30mph, and the practical limit is much less). The 1 mile walk to Boston Manor Tube should be possible in 10 minutes, if you walk at 6 mph (9 km/h, for the imperially challenged). Piece of cake for Alex Schwazer, who claimed gold in Bejing for walking 50km in 3 hours 37 minutes (14 km/h or 8.8mph).

I thought it was funny. For us, they are just round the corner, but if one was a terrorist, relying on their directions for the planning of a swift get-away, I recommend to double-check with the locals.
