I'm afraid I'm turning a bit Farage in my old age.
Can't help but find issue with this letter about getting the bairn vaccinated. Translated into a 6 pages of random languages (no French?).
So much paper.... And I bet it does more to enrage idiots than help non English speakers.

I've just learned of the existence of Neuf-Brisach. A French city near the German border that to do this day constrains itself within a star fort.
This.
I like.
Its on my travel list.

It's probably just me, but the new Tyne and wear metro trains feel really weird with this metro style seating but such wide spacious carriages.
In my mind this style of seating takes me back to smaller gauge trains in Tokyo.

Went to #Wallsend today.
Not many flags about but an ungodly amount of vulgar crosses painted on random spots of the road.
I wonder if this is a sign of the relative poverty of the area vs. Flag filled areas down south?
Flags ain't cheap.

My favourites are Copenhagen crossings, very common in Switzerland (and I guess Denmark).
You don't even notice you're crossing a place cars can go half the time.

So why not just give pedestrians priority at junctions? Why set out to spite drivers whilst you're at it? A stick to press a button - just think about that.
This method used in Switzerland does it very well I find. Remove the junction completely. The driver is a guest on the path, not vice versa.

It does work. In the Netherlands fietsstraten are common, there's lots been written about them and they do work.
In Switzerland this kind of path is common. You can see rather than the idea of pedestrians having to cross the road, instead quite clearly cars have to pass the path. And it works.
