It would be nice if someone could get hold of one of those ] cartoons from the period to illustrate this article - I've seen a few in the past that would do the job - does anyone know how one could get hold of one, and what the copywrite status would be? ] 22:36, 19 August 2006 (UTC) |

So, all well and good - or is it? For what is not mentioned is that - by narrowing and confining the Thames - the river is now far more at risk of flooding. Given this, is it possible to mention something about the risk of flooding caused by the 'improvements' to The Embarkment/s? <!-- Template:Unsigned IP --><small class="autosigned">— Preceding ] comment added by ] (]) 13:02, 3 September 2023 (UTC)</small> <!--Autosigned by SineBot--> |

"discharged their sewage half a mile (800 m) downstream from their reservoir: the sewage was being carried upstream into the reservoir on the incoming tide" should read instead "downriver" and "upriver". The sewage could be carried upstream but upriver by the incoming tidal stream. ] (]) 09:34, 15 September 2023 (UTC) |

{{u|SlyGuyFox}}, can you please stop edit warring and discuss your changes please. As a start, I will point out again that “ageing” is the correct spelling in British English (the variant in which this article is written). - ] (]) 07:08, 24 September 2023 (UTC) |
