A remarkable behavior is the "hook" landing which serves to confuse potential attackers. Thus, the grasshopper lands and swings round to face the direction it has come from. The sudden disappearance of the blue hind wings of the adult makes it difficult for predators to shift quickly enough to a different kind of search to relocate the prey.Kral, K. (2010) Escape behaviour in blue-winged grasshoppers, Oedipoda caerulescens.

The poet Matthew Arnold described the area in his 1853 work "The Scholar Gipsy": :Thee, at the ferry, Oxford riders blithe, :Returning home on summer nights, have met :Crossing the stripling Thames at Bablock-hithe :Trailing in the cool stream thy fingers wet :As the slow punt swings round. The site is overlooked by the "Warm green-muffled Cumnor Hills", and is now an extensive caravan site.

In the Japanese market, 400 cc motorcycles were once restricted by top speed, but these restrictions can be removed through various means, including the fitting of an ignition "black box". The VFR400R is restricted by means of an optical sensor inside the speedometer, and a black sector attached to the indicator needle shaft. When needle swings round to the sector starts to block the sensor, ignition is cut to the front two cylinders thereby reducing power such that the motorcycle can not accelerate further. Some models also had power restrictions, this was most commonly a restriction washer in each of the rubber sections between the carbs and cylinder inlet.

As early as 1926, Malcolm Sargent joining the D'Oyly Carte Opera Company found "a brilliant young assistant named Isidore Godfrey whom I realised at once was made of the right stuff for Sullivan".Gilbert & Sullivan Journal, May 1965, Vol VIII, No 17, p. 280 In the 1930s, Neville Cardus praised Godfrey's musicianship and commanding presence, adding, "Mr Godfrey deserves a bigger band":The Manchester Guardian, 13 April 1931, p. 11 :Mr Isidore Godfrey approaches his evening's labours with an imperious gesture; he swings round, and with a comprehensive eye reduces even a Gilbert and Sullivan audience to silence for an overture – a very remarkable feat of hypnotism.

At Cobham the river swings round in a pronounced axehead meander skirting Painshill Landscape Garden, where a diameter waterwheel raises water from the river to feed the ornamental lake in the park.Water Wheel of c.1830 by Bramer (sic) and Co - Grade II - The undershot wheel at Painshill Park was restored in 1987 and is located at the end of an artificial leat, rather than on the main river channel.
