Cats have improved since the 90s, it's not really practical to fit cats to gas boiler exhausts/flues for various reasons, not least of which is they tend to burn very cleanly anyway. Likewise for oil-fired heating boilers.
The main problem is sheer volume though Dave. The only way to get the traffic to move faster in London is to drastically cut the amount of traffic !

Having lived and worked in London for the first 23 years of my life ( some of which included driving in city centre for a couple of years ) I now find it hard to comprehend that the population of London is ( I think ) double the entire population of Scotland !!
