No it's due to the narrow road, limited space to get through the traffic and the number of vehicles. Road works exacerbate the issue. I've cycled it in rush hour for over 20 years and know it very well. It's nicer when the schools are off.

Savings lives, see alex_b's informed and personal post above trump's a little bit of inconvenience.

@FiL you obviously know the road well but your post plays into the populist narrative expressed regularly on this forum that the Council are out to get drivers ie manufactured culture wars. I'm not objecting, nor am I supporting the scheme as I rarely use that side of the road. I'm generally happy cycling in traffic but many cyclists aren't, and new riders put off. So segregation appears the favoured way ahead whatever more experienced cyclists think. My commute was the other side of the Rye, horrid with traffic often backed up a considerable distance from the main lights. There are numerous good cycle routes throughout Southwark and London as a whole which are welcome.

Let's see how this runs. Maybe not a suprise but if only half of what the Guardian said is true it's damning. https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2025/sep/08/what-are-the-boris-johnson-files-former-prime-minister

Skillful avoiding of stamp duty by our Nige. The true patriot. Not a recent story but I am enjoying the Mirror's current campaign He was rather unpleasant when being interviewed by Kuenssberg yesterday. https://www.mirror.co.uk/news/uk-news/hypocrite-nigel-farage-didnt-pay-35858834

Cheers. Hope all of those posting here with strong views on policing attend

Wow yet another thread to bash Labour. Good news is I'll be posting the Johnson files, and Farage hypocrisy, threads shortly.

I've found it quite a useful thread. Apparently protein powders are toxic. Not that I have ever, or will ever, try them. https://www.health.harvard.edu/staying-healthy/the-hidden-dangers-of-protein-powders

Unionists sometimes also paint the curbs (rwb) in Northern Ireland, much less than in the troubles. https://m.belfasttelegraph.co.uk/news/northern-ireland/rising-sectarian-tensions-in-limavady-as-painted-kerbs-and-flags-mark-out-territory/37190789.html

Thanks @Sephiroth I was thinking along the same lines (demonisation of Rayner by the media) and came across this article yesterday from Manchester Evening News. It doesn't excuse her, but the title "Angela Rayner's real offence was being a working class woman in power" is self explanatory. https://www.manchestereveningnews.co.uk/news/greater-manchester-news/angela-rayners-real-offence-being-32422596 The crossing legs nonsense is particularly telling.

So what do people want? More housing. More affordable housing. But not in my back yard. That applies to urban areas too. Easy to criticise, but where are your answers?

So irrespective of the scandal how do you think that Rayner did as Housing Secretary?

You are missing my point, there are a few here who are rabidly anti Labour. And have lost sight of the many scandals associated with their party. I've not made excuses for Rayner, rather I am inferring that it is hypocritical to go on about one of the major parties whilst ignoring your own dirty washing. You are not making sense. I expect half the country likes a drink and a sizeable number likes a vape. What is your point?

So you are also old enough to remember the Heath Out protest by the TUC when unemployment hit 1 million? We all have selective memories, this thread is no different. Please give me a list of the Labour sleaze. And compare it to the Tories. There are a few of you who appear to have a long term dislike of Labour, so all this is a gift.

Ok list Labour Vs Tory sleaze. I expect Tories will win (ie more scandals). Not good as a politician but as a nation most of us are greedy, Thatcher exploited that, and anyone who avoids tax is a thief by your broad definition. I'll be the first to hand myself in having occasionally paid cash in hand for jobs i expect as a teenager doing casual work in the summer mist of the adults were signing on

Oh dear, another Labour bashing thread. Some unhappy bunnies out there with very short memories about the last government. Sadly the Labour home goals and rather irrelevant Tory party play into the hands of Farage.

They protect pedestrians over motorised vehicles. Not sure why anyone is arguing otherwise

Who do you prefer: Lib Dem leader Ed Davey, who had earlier in the week voiced his support for Rayner, given her caring duties for her son, tells the BBC he hopes the government can "move on and deal with the huge problems millions of people in our country face". Davey adds that it's "clear" her position became "untenable". "It was inevitable," says Reform UK leader Nigel Farage, adding that "you can't be housing secretary and avoid £40,000 of stamp duty". Farage says Rayner's resignation as deputy leader of the Labour party and deputy PM will trigger an internal election within the Labour party - and "you're going to see the hard left of Labour shouting very, very loudly".

I've never hit one.

You are welcome to mine! Tthey are pests (assuming you are talking about feral pigeons). We have occasionally wood pigeons, but once the feral ones arrived the wood pigeons disappeared. I feed tits, finches, robins, great spotted woodpecker and other birds from time to time when they appear. I used squirel proof feeders.

The design has been around for forty years, I've not found another case where a vehicle has flipped. So something different happened here, I'm not speculating what.

I was a bit bemused like others no doubt. Why the original post and what the intention was - to get everyone to stop using the business? Surely taking it up with the shop is sufficient. They score pretty well on Trustpilot with 30,000 reviews 60 percent 5, and a few stinkers for a variety of issues I also wondered why a 16 year old was taking supplements, I know they are popular in older teens and young men. I did my research too, like Ian above. Lightly or unregulated, government advice is to go for whole foods. And yes expect the 18 + is advisory.

Good heavens. Emergency Thames water works? How unusual. Yes I am being ironic. Hope back to normal soon.

It's not a poor decision. Unpopular for some. Popular for others

You've lost me. This is a forum, which is open to wide discussion. If someone wants to comment on what you have just said to me, or I've said to you, doesn't bother me. I'm not going to say bog off I was talking to FM
