"I cycled to school when I was a kid, and we didn't need fancy cycle lanes."
Yeah, but there's three times more traffic than there was in 1973..
Twice as many cars as there was in 1982..
..36% more traffic on urban minor roads than there was in 1994..
..and cars were *way* smaller, and lighter.

Slot "I'm not too sure if I saw a football match today. It was set-piece after set-piece, long throw. It didn't have a lot to do with tactics..."
Me "It was constant timewasting, fouling, and putting the ball out with very little controlled passing."

Cyclists may be familiar with Schroedinger's cyclist. But I'd suggest also Schroedinger's public transport: simultaneously too slow and restrictive for car-users to take, while also perfectly fine and therefore not in need of any funding for improvement or expansion, or reallocation to bus lanes.

@mickpuck.bsky.social At about this time, on this day in 1986, I left an amazing gig by @waterboysmusic.bsky.social at Riverside, Newcastle Upon Tyne.
39 years on and still going strong. Thank you for the music!

Personally, I wouldn't invest £55m in a company that's unable to file its accounts on time.
But this is just Government money so I guess it doesn't matter.

@townseagull.bsky.social And @sarahmillican.bsky.social has moved over here too, so will hopefully see it continuing.
A reminder that if you need some company over the Christmas Eve/Day/Boxing Day period lots of folk are usually on #JoinIn (set up by Sarah Millican originally). You can search the hashtag to see what everyone is chatting about and join the conversation. Keep it safe with these rules:

💸 Millions of people in the UK can't afford to own cars, or can't drive for whatever reason.
🛑 The lack of non-car options means they are trapped around where they live.

Parking in this bay is currently suspended. Didn't get a chance to read the reason why but hope it's to do with safety, and before there's been an accident to highlight the issue.
Can't say I like this junction. Was turning right, in my car, with a van parked where the blue car is. Visibility terrible. I was very slow but not sure everyone will be.

When Anthony scored his first #ThreeLions goal on Sunday, he stayed true to a promise he made to her
