What is surprising is that Loughborough university is dominated by athletes. I see cyclists and runners all the time obviously from the university and they are having to navigate very dangerous roads due to idiotic drivists.

Yes I have done this.

Very interesting and good on Leicester. A shame Leicestershire is failing though. I live just outside Loughborough and there is some really dodgy cycle infra.

But they were okay with his interviewing Jimmy Saville though? Complete lack of understanding interviewee choices.

I have a Nothing phone 3a but it doesn't have an app as far as I can see that works on it for music. I used to have a Creative Zen which was excellent.

I have reported many valid emails as phishing, as have my colleagues.

I was talking with my wife recently that I could see a return of the MP3 player, or at least smartphone MP3. Streaming services are costly and any downloads are not owned. I use free streaming to discover new music only.

Also my bugbear is how the entire pavement is sloped because drivists prepared to bump up kerbs all of a sudden can't navigate onto a driveway.

I would be inclined to agree, although it unfortunately appears that you can.

I suspect Carney was only continuing trade talks to buy time anyway.

This was a real interaction, not scripted apparently.

My anger is very brief tbh. In the UK you will experience a dangerous drivists every ride so we learn to decompress very quickly from most incidents. I tend to push the positives of cycling, play down some of the ridiculous things drivists do. It can be difficult.

I sympathise with you. I think I am aka the angry guy who shouts at cars in my neighborhood too, which is not my personality at all. Outside of this I am known as a kind and joyful person, so I have been told. As soon as drivists stop being dickheads I stop shouting.

We have the double buggy rule in Leicestershire too. So, how big is a double buggy? I have seen some very large ones.

She has quite a few opinions I don't necessarily agree with and can be very rigid in her views.

As always the answer is money.

I agree that it is a witch hunt but don't have enough info to be truly knowledgeable. I am not much of a fan of Jess, but am a fan of Angela.

I call that the Coco pops moment. Even the milk turns brown to make your cereal bowl look like a sewer with floating turds, or, your milk tastes of chocolate.

I have heard many a person trying to argue that speeding is safer. There is a push to increase motorway limits.

UK children living in the most disadvantaged areas are more likely to die in intensive care, children living in poverty projected to rise to 4.8m by 2029.

Govts tinker with poverty. Push real wage/benefit cuts, don't curb profiteering, appease the rich, destroy futures.

UK children dying through poverty, data shows

A new report published by the Child of the North initiative shows that the two-child benefit cap is pushing 109 families a day into hardship.

They believe everyone thinks Greens are loony lefties and don't realise that they are the ones who have shifted to the right and don't care about the people they are supposed to care about. Westminster lives in a bubble, out of touch with the reality we are experiencing.

It's a goal of mine to help make this the most famous, well-known and UNDERSTOOD quote about cities in history. Please share it as much as you can.

Key quote from the great Lewis Mumford in 1955 — “Adding car lanes to deal with traffic congestion is like loosening your belt to cure obesity.”
