Also we could narrow carriageways down to the bare minimum (which would also naturally slow traffic) ban roadside parking where houses have driveways, create cycle lanes and put solid barriers up to prevent vehicles from entering pedestrian/bike areas.
Indeed. I worked in a supermarket in the 2000s before self-checkout was a thing. Punters not wanting to queue meant staff were robbed from around the store to open more checkouts, which meant other jobs went undone (like shelf stacking, rotation, pricing, reductions etc). It's never worked.

Ah it can go on the list for next time. I recommend most of the day for Zaanse Schans we tried to squeeze it into half a day and it wasnt quite enough time.
Kattenkabinet can be done fairly easily in about an hour or so
Recommend Zaanse Schans (slightly north of Amsterdam) for a day out - loads of windmills, a clog museum, chocolate museum, cheese shop, a great pancake restaurant/cafe.
There is nothing more Brexity than having been years outside the union and having had Brexit government since 2017 but still blaming foreigners for Brexit outcomes
