I got to go all car brain here but.... How very annoying. A line of 20 vehicular cyclists trundling down the road holding up the bus... And in a place where there's a perfectly fine and lengthy stretch of actual B-grade raised cycle lane right next to them...

It's curious to see on Bonfire Night.
Most estates - people trecking to the free town centre display and home by 8.
The council estate - one epic display per 6 houses.
There's a study in this. So counter intuitive

Interesting on a national scale, but I really do have to question how the census draws borders.
My street falls into the 4000/34,000 most deprived in the country.... When....Its pretty alright I reckon.
But its in a census area shaped like a 3, the next street over... 20,000/34,000. Gerrymander ho!

How deprived is your area? Look up your postcode as new data for England released
New data ranks every area of England against a set of metrics for deprivation. Find out where yours figures in the statistics

Why does nobody say "lucka" anymore.
I used to use it all the time. But now I struggle to think of where it would be useful.
The decline of language saddens me.
