It's the BaE/Avro 146s extending flaps for landing.

Hi James, just a small one - there are two recycling bins outside Londis that haven't been emptied for ages and are now overflowing.

Drop those 13-year-old 176s and watch the pollution levels drop on Champion Hill

If a bus has just gone through the green bus lane filter, the light resets, hence the following bus having to/choosing to cut into the middle lane.

Some non-tfl, non-red route roads allow, but not enough. It's a mess. DKH should be clear to use, as should Walworth Road.

I hear them buzz by every other night, sniffing out whether my bike is properly chained up or not.

The press were correct - the (very courteous) police who attended one the many thefts/attempted thefts of my bike confirmed this.

That central reservation bit is begging to be hit one day

DL is right. Also, a cover, bulky alarmed chain/lock and an alarmed disc lock. The current MO of thieves is to break the ignition/steering lock and wheel the thing away. Make it as hard as possible. Don't forget to take the disc lock off though before you ride!

Some of the cars I've seen clamped are worth less than the fines/cost of tax, so I'd say they've realised it'll cost them more to remove, store and eventually scrap these vehicles.

It's been there a while, but started out with all wheels on the road.

Hmm. M.O. of motorbike thieves - a cheap rechargeable grinder will go through even the thickest chain in a couple of mins. Happened to me in the West End in Jan.

wow, that's incredible. This initiative will pay for itself many times over.

Most Garmin/TomToms have the 'live' option, like Waze and Google Maps.

Isn't the barry road site going to be turned into flats?

I saw a family of four, two young kids, each with a huge bunch of daffs in Burgess Park tonight on the way home. Selfish bastards (the parents, of course).

There were signs at the top of DKH explaining work was taking place and to expect delays. Plus, road laying equipment was parked by the bus stop at the top. I hope they're relaying the tatty bus lanes.

The 176s are 53-04 plate vehicles, 13 years old, probably with 500k miles on them by now. God knows how much NOx they're spewing out of their older gen diesels. They're incredibly noisy too.

The tube was so packed in Clapham in the mornings, I took to cycling and motorcycling.

I have an alarmed padlock in addition to the bike's alarm. Seems to have put them off for now.
