First time in Tokyo and I am so impressed at how clean and organised it is. It is a pleasure to go out, I thought I was going to find a busy, chaotic city.

I live in London and can’t wait to head home when I go into town. I wish we could keep London and other British cities this clean.I think we got lots to learn from the Japanese.

Why can we achieve this cleanliness in London?

Oh and school cleaning is a thing. My students would report to the staffroom (sixth form age) on a rota after school, calling out cheerfully "we're here for toilet cleaning" and then I would go and have to "supervise" or check the loos and the corridor polishing etc. There were no cleaning staff employed in the school. This was a high achieving school in a bit city - the equivalent of a grammar school.
