Londoni üleujutused London on Suurbritannia pealinn, mis asub Thames'i jõe kallastel. Thames on väga suur ja võimas jõgi, mis suubub Põhjamerre. Vee vooluhulk Thames'is on suur. Kuna Thames suubub Põhjamerre, siis mõjutavad seda tõus ja mõõn. Ka erinevad tormid mõjutavad väga kergesti Thames'i jõge, põhjustades üleujutusi. Üks suurimaid üleujutusi toimus 1953. aastal, kui suure tormi tagajärjel tõusis veetase Thames'is nii palju, et vesi tõusis üle tõusupiirete. Selle tagajärjel suri 58 inimest ja üle 10 000 inimese olid sunnitud evakueeruma. See oli tugevaks hoiatuseks Briti valitsusele suureneva ohu eest. 1983. aastaks valmiski Briti valitsuse algatusel Thames'i jõele hiiglaslik tõusubärjäär. Põhjuseid, miks üleujutusi esineb on mitmeid, kuid enamasti taanduvad need kõik globaalsele soojenemisele. Globaalne soojenemine põhjustab mereveetaseme tõusu ning ka mitmeid torme

Estuary English 1. The geographical dimension: Is `Estuary' English estuary? Estuary English is a dialect of English widely spoken in South East England, especially along the River Thames and its estuary. Phonetician John C. Wells defines Estuary English as "Standard English spoken with the accent of the southeast of England".[1] The name comes from the area around the Thames, particularly London, Kent, north Surrey and south Essex. The variety first came to public prominence in an article by DavidRosewarne in the Times Educational Supplement in October 1984. [2] Rosewarne argued that it may eventually replace RP (Received Pronunciation) in the south-east. Studies have indicated that Estuary English is not a single coherent form of English; rather, the reality behind

London History The Romans AD 43- AD 410 The Romans finally invaded Britain in AD 43 from Kent. The Romans lead by Julius Caesar attempted to invade Britain twice before that in 55 and 54 BC but the invasions were unsuccessful. They made their way to the river Thames and sailed up it. The Romans knew it was important to control a crossing point at the river Thames, so they decided to build a settlement on the north bank. Although small settlements had been built on the banks of the Thames, the Romans were the ones who built the first city. They called their city Londinium. The Roman engineers noticed that the point where the swampy river narrowed would make an ideal crossing point, they built London Bridge. Less than 20 years later the native Iceni tribe, led by Queen Boudicca, rose up against the Romans in revenge for mistreatment and burnt Londinium to the ground. The well disciplined Roman army defeated her forces and Londinium was rebuilt

London London is one of the world's great cities. Located in the southeast of England, on the River Thames, it is the capital of the United Kingdom and has been the heart of its political, cultural and business life for centuries. London has always been the centre of the world. The origin of the city may be dated around the beginning of the 1st century when a Celtic tribe settled near the Thames. The Romans founded London about 50 AD. Its name is derived from the Celtic word Londinios, which means `the place of the bold one'. The Romans brought with them forts, roads and the rule of law. Then in 61 AD Queen Boudicca led a rebellion against the Romans. Her army marched on London. No attempt was made to defend London. Boudicca burned London but after her rebellion was crushed it was rebuilt. By the end of the 2nd century, a 6metre stone wall was erected around London

Over 1,700 people in five countries would be involved in building it. The population of an entire alpine village would test the embarkation procedures. Almost every component and construction technique would have to be invented from scratch. Glass for the capsules would have to be double-curved and laminated. And transportation of the components would take on a scale reminiscent of pyramid building: delivery would have to be timed to co- ordinate with tides in the River Thames, so that large parts could be safely negotiated under London's bridges. Clearance under Southwark Bridge would be as little as 40 centimetres. One of the world's tallest floating cranes would be needed to lift the massive quarter sections of the rim onto eight temporary platforms floating on the river. Each of the 32 passenger capsules would have to be designed to be just within the maximum width allowed on the French

C. (55 years before Jesus was born) the Roman general, emperor Julius Caesar invaded Britain. He took with him two Roman legions. After winning several battles against the Britons in South-East England he returned to France. Second invasion - Caesar's second raid In 54 B.C. Julius Caesar came to Britain again landing at Walmer near Deal in Kent. This time he brought with him five legions (30,000 foot soldiers) and 2,000 cavalrymen (horse riders). This time the Romans crossed the River Thames. After more fighting, the British tribes promised to pay tribute to Rome and were then left in peace for nearly a century. Third and final invasion In 43 A.D. (43 years after Jesus was born) Emperor Claudius organised the final and successful Roman invasion of Britain. General Plautius led four legions with 25,000 men, plus an equal number of auxiliary soldiers. The biggest battle was fought on the banks of the River Medway. It went on for two days before the Celtic tribes retreated.

This famous historical site has been the living quarters of monarchs. It has been a site of imprisonment and execution of many traitors, clergymen, nobles and framed members of the royal court and was also an armory, treasury, zoo and mint. Today it houses the crown jewels and has a museum filled with armor, weapons and implements of torture. Another popular tourist sight is the London eye. Constructed by British Airways, it towers 135 meters above the banks of the Thames River. It is located near Big Ben and Westminster Abbey, on the opposite bank, adjacent to London's county hall. Views from the eye are spectacular and on a clear day most of London can be seen. If there's only one museum that can be seen, the British Museum is the one to visit. This museum has some of the largest collections on human culture and history. It is the home of the Rosetta Stone and has one of the most comprehensive ancient coin collections on exhibit
Kliimavöötmele on iseloomulik õhumasside liikumine läänest itta, mistõttu mandrite lääneosad on sademeterikkamad.Võrreldes eesti ja suurbritannia sademtehulka (mõlemad asuvad samas kliimavöötmes),asuvad mõlemad riigi mere ääres,kuid suurbritannia sademete hulk on suurem kui eestis.Suurbritannia veevarud on suhtlelised suured kuna on ju siiski mere ääres ning saab merevett filtreerida nii joogiveeks või muuks otstarveks.Suurimad jõed saarel on Thames,Severn.Nende toiteallikateks on nii vihmavesi,allikad ja muud teised lisajõed.Kuna Suurbritannia on mereline kliima,siis seal on ümpriski palju sademeid ning mida rohkem sajab,seda suuremaks,kogukamaks läheb jõgi.Ning vastupidiselt,mida kuivem on seda rohkem aurustub ning vähemaks vett jääb.Mida suurem on jõgi,seda suurem on oht üleujutusele.Selleks ohuks on Suurbritannia Thames-i jõgi.Saare kuulsaim järv on kindlasti Lock Ness-i järv,kus arvatakse olevad eelajalooline dinosaurus
Dear Sir/Madam, I am writing in response to your advertisment in today's The Thames about the part-time job in accounts department.
