It's Ant Day! Bikers and cyclists - cover your eyes.

Thanks Seany, I'll chat to you too ;-) Re: discussion doc.: it's actually happening for real, from 4th August. All bikes in W1 have been leafleted. It was introduced on a good day to bury bad news - Jan 3rd 2007, while we were all hungover/busy at work/on hols.

Brendan, would you like me and all the other bikers to cram on your already crowded bus? Did your missus run off with a biker or something?

I have yet to see any 'enhancements'. The only impact, as far as I can see, is some bays have been made one car's length longer, a benefit, as we can fill that with up to 10 bikes. The cost to the council? Painting white lines around a bay which was lying empty because the Congestion Charge and phone-pay parking has freed up loads of on-street parking spaces. Oh, and we pay road tax, insurance and it costs ?18 to fill my tank at the moment.

I have locked this post as there is a duplicate post here: http://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/forum/read.php?20,148966 - The Administrator Ahoy, motorbike and scooter commuters: Westminster Council is about to charge ?1.50/day to park in their part of London. As we ease the burden on the Tube and buses, and ease road congestion, while returning up to 100+ mpg (10mpg more than a G-Wiz electric car and 50mpg more than a Prius), we should be encouraged, not penalised. Send your opposition to: [www3.westminster.gov.uk] PS: I cycle too, so on the days I cycle in, I'll still be paying, as it's a yearly permit. Great.

Death AND religion - very shaky ground. NB: where was their their god at the time of the accident?

As supermarkets go, you won't find one more ethical, to staff or suppliers, than the Co-op. It's a very ED kind of store. Not sure how the quality of the produce measures up against the others though. The original Co-op in the block where the Co-op chemist is was destroyed by a V1 in '44; killed dozens.

Hmm.. I just can't get past the insipid name. Sounds like something conjured up by grad marketeers during their first ever brainstorming session.

Yep, a Jewson delivery lorry hit it, and was jammed under like this: http://englishrussia.com/images/bridge_pier.jpg

Drive through the night, if you can. It's rather pleasant.

In ED?

Try getting that on a plane

No knives - how quaint.

Move to the country then... oh
