Here is my site for accessible transport in London, aka nogobritain.com; It is not bad, but help me to make it better.

Please support a campaign for Bangladesh, which will add a few pence to a piece of clothing emailing these companies who wish to see people dieing without decent rights, and also stop shopping in  these places - thank you. E.g. Debenhams, Gap and ASDA (Walmart). I will remove the companies names when they sign up to a fair deal for the workers in Bangladesh
