Re: MAY PDML LONDON - quack

[Daniel J. Matyola]

In Hawaii, particularly in Maui, they have been widely criticized by 
full-time residents and regular visitors as ugly, noisy, disruptive and 
not in harmony with the rest of the community and the resorts.  I would 
imagine that some would find there presence in a historic city like 
London to be less than desirable.

In Hawaii, they are also able to access places that were not easily 
located or accessable by car, such as isolated oceanfront neighborhoods, 
disrupting the peace of solitude of those who live there.  A number of 
politicians in Hawaii have proposed banning them, but as of my last 
trip, in summer '04, some were still operating.

Those amphibious tour vehicles have been greeted with harsh public 
opposition in a lot of places where they have been tried, such as in 
Hawaii.  How are they doing in London?  Have there been outcries from 
the locals or from the government?
   

In what context Dan?
