Britain is not a country of racist bigots.
Time for the decent majority to "take back control".

There must be a word to describe the moment when you finish a ride and you find Strava didn't record it.

Frosty start to the day in the shire
This is my 'bench of shame' at Euston. I was once coming home after a late night filming with a migraine, and flopped down flat to clutch my head and wait for my train.
To my horror, a policeman approached.
'NOW MADAM, HAD A DROP TOO MUCH HAVE YOU, OFF HOME WITH YOU.'

Cartoon from 2004, done mostly to give the office thesaurus an airing. Hearing later that he'd had a rough time, I was slightly worried that accusing him of owning a cattery which was merely a hollow facade might have been a bit unkind, but it turned out that he liked it, so I sent him the artwork.

@westberkshire.bsky.social this is interesting. Perhaps a good starting point for the St John's roundabout?
Sheffield’s first ‘Dutch-style’ roundabout has opened.
Compared to installing traffic signals, the design is safer for pedestrians and cyclists, causes less delay to people driving, and creates more green space.

Would you consider signing this petition to the UK government to introduce Dutch-style presumed liability for road traffic collision civil cases? This has been shown to encourage safer driving around cyclists and pedestrians and resolve compensation claims.
