Please stick to the one thread on LTNs

Don?t feed the trolls

Wasn't the whole contrived 'voter fraud' thing something Farage was pushing for a bit? Johnson tried to neutralise it by putting voter ID in the manifesto? He's simply following through on something they promised to prevent Farage getting the wind in his sails again. It's on the fringes of the thinly veiled racism grift where Farage and others like to hangout.

I wonder whether it's more to do with tight vs loose cultures. The former is more likely to develop in areas, or situations where people feel higher levels of threat / less secure. If things where you lived had been in decline for a long time, you might see things through a different lens - one that where you're better disposed to promises of control, order, rules and a reduction in freedoms. We like to think we're all really rational and make good choices, but we're heavily influenced by the situation we find ourselves in and cognitive forces which we're barely conscious of.

They feel it's OK to give you a hard time because they are asshats. Sorry you've had to deal with that nonsense.

There is (or was) very little bike parking on LL. Can't really see how anyone can object to a few bike racks being provided.

So agree with this. the Finsbury Park bike facility is great. Would be good to have something Similar at Brixton tube. Good facilities at Peckham Rye though.

There seems to have been a lot of this - lockdown dogs. Slightly worried about what?s going to happen to them all when the new owners have to start returning to the office.

A real shame.

Apparently there has been a bit of a spate of locker thefts in NW London. It's still got to be safer than just locking it on the street though and as northernmonkey says, you can always store a heavy lock there.

I think we only need 1 more and we'll be into double digits. Just seems a little excessive.

I?m not starting the threads. Just appealing to people to stop creating new ones all the time. Very happy to debate, but would be good if it could be done in one place.

I think we only need someone to create 1 more thread on this topic and we'll be in to double digits. At the current rate of growth we should be looking at a name change to 'the LTN ranting forum' by the end of this month.

Oh great. The ever multiplying number of LTN threads are now leaking from the General section into the lounge.

I rely on the thermostat to turn the heating on when it gets cold, regardless of the season. Usually have it set for 19 during the day and 16 at night.

... or alternatively just rename the 'General Ed issues / gossip' section, 'the LTN ranting' section.

It's possible to feel strongly about something without constantly starting new threads on the same topic.

They should separate the two area and make the drop down bit a cafe with a front opening up on the playground side.

Great painting.

I don't even know what this means. The point is, one doesn't need to create a new thread every time they want to comment on LTNs, either for or against. There are at least half a dozen separate threads on the topic already.
