Default Furious Boris orders TfL to restore the Thames on the new map

Mayor 'don't bother me with details' Boris realises that details can
be important.

More specifically, Mayor Boris doesn't really care one way or the
other about such matters and delegates such decision making to the TfL
Board (of which he is at least notionally the Chair of). The Board
meanwhile got a gee-whiz presentation and nodded it through (with or
wothout Bozza there?).

Now the Tube dwelling mouse excrement has started hitting the
ventilation fan and there's a big fuss, the Mayor's Office
(specifically Guto Harri, the Mayor's mouthpiece) decides the easiest
way forward is to tell everyone the Mayor is furious. Perhaps he
actually is, but if so maybe a small degree of that anger should be
directed towards the man in the mirror - or does the buck stop
elsewhere? (i.e. anywhere else!)

Anyway, it all seems a rather inevitable course of events! But
inspired by "Basil Jet's" comments in his reply, what other features
do utl-ers think should be on the map (a crowded, busy, non-clean
version if you will)? Heathrow flightpaths? Thames Water Ring Main?
Air quality? Decent minicab firms? High-frequency night bus routes
that mirror Tube lines? The aural footprint of the Bow Bells?
