>Enforce all existing laws? All the time? And with equal seriousness, regardless of the infringement? What an excellent notion< See Uri Geller is back again. Tho see my post above your.

I'm with you on the speed limit thing. I was caught doing 34 in Clapham many years ago, though luckily I got the offer of reprogramming at the police speed school thingy. It really opens your eyes and arrests your behind the wheel behaviour. The hardest thing to enforce is mutual respect, because it has to be earned. Sadly there is a divide between some of both parties and within each group, though how to address that is difficult. Motorists keeping their speed in check and leaving bike boxes clear would help. As would well lit bikes and red light observing by cyclists. I'm hopeful, but not holding my breath.

Three colours per post please. I'll kick off. Bugaboo Fury A deeps shade of red, eventually turning purple. SE15 An envious shade of green near the SE22 borders Pedantic Purple A popular colour in some quarters, with added "actually"

I'm with Applespider pretty much. INMV 1st enforce the existing laws for cars & bikes. Do it in a way that sees infringements treated seriously. Why don't some cyclists stop at lights ? a.Because most are too lazy to stop/get going again. b.Because they don't reckon on getting caught. c. Well everyone else seems to get away with it Laa Laa La Dave-fingers-in-my-ears-R cant see there's a bike problem, maybe he works for BoJo See here for Dave's Uri Geller style answer bending: >As I understand it, your objection to this is its penalising motorists when cyclists are the real problem. Wow, nobody's ever said that before<

Indeed Miss D 22's "street food" arm Casa Paella is good. Though i'm sure Iceland do a giant frozen foil tray the size of a wagon wheel, ready to be sold reheated on a "market stall selling food" Some people like it that way, apparently.

Look away now Sue if I were you Crushed Potatoes to go with your Crushed Peas Nursing homes have done this stuff for years, where did you say you were ? http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_q5b7Ix7OaP0/SdBDeoVqlcI/AAAAAAAABI8/OGWTv6qz-IA/s400/crushed_potatoes_scottish.jpg

Oh dear Dave You've veered off as you do, then gone into a polarised rant vacuum Anyway, as I said "My beef is that cycling has become the holy cow for London" Even in the face of obvious/dangerous infringements, there's no crackdown, nothing. Like it would be an admission of failure. But the motorised vehicle users get penalised further, so the divide is drawn by those above who want policy over policing. I drive on my own nearly everyday in the city. I know, say a hail mary. Trouble is there's no way of hulking 1500 kilos of product around any other way. Though I do also carry my Brompton to scoot around once parked up for an hour, so I see both sides. Hand on heart, it's other cyclist that break the law the most consistently. Were it not the skill of experienced city drivers , then more wayward cyclists would be dead or injured. But who'd want to admit that ?

I've seen a few in charity shops, i'd like one, but i'd only use it once in a blue moon I do make Gnocchi and all that needs is a regular fork to roll it up the back of Simples

Make a pilgrimage to St John Bread & Wine Spittafields Them doughnuts are the fekkin NUTS MAN (plus you can buy them to take-away)

The biggest guy in the Paella business is a guy called Nick, he trades out of Portobello market. You can find him through Petra Barran at the http://www.kerbfood.com/kings-cross/

I wonder if there's stats for cyclists/pedestrians killed by cars with blacked out windows. In fact, what's with the whole blacked out windows thing. I reserved my judgement until I drove a car with said 'blacked out windows' and fekk me YOU CANNOT SEE OUT OF THE DAMN THINGS Sure I get SOME people don't want to be seen, but hey WE WANT YOU TO SEE US. Really....

I mean, it's a money raising exercise 1st and foremost Bad motorist-good cyclist la la la Maybe if they spent the money raised on pulling the unlit and dangerous two wheelers off the road, then safety could improve. I am a cyclist and a motorist, though i've equal contempt for either. My beef is that cycling has become the holy cow for London. Arse faced Boris on his silly bike won't entertain a hard campaign against cyclists breaking the law But oh, dare you creep your wagon of terror into the said box, then ?60 from you please. And the bikes continue to pour through the red lights - unlit at night Yeah- free wheelin' man ! Edited to add, this is post 666. How spooky is that.

Am I seeing this right On the side of the Vic in Bellenden Village (Ha) there's a dog having a plop ? A small boy pointed this out yesterday, though as I tried to gander at the whole thing a cyclist (with gears) near ran me over. Yours Confused of Sydenham

Isn't the DLR pilot/driverless ? That's not crashed, so if the same Pilot/driver wasn't flying the proposed plane, i'd be on it. It does have wings, right ?

Great stuff Local premier league football again, things are looking up. Well done Palace Rah

HER OMG She rode a horse past my house once, with an 8 yr old child (in a huge romper suit) on board. No saddle & shoes on the horse. She was out-there out-there that woman. She also had a hacking jacket tied round with bailing twine on. (quite a nice detail I thought) I went up to Beltwood once, most odd indeed.
