I think there are worse problems in the world and, while I do see cyclists jumping reds, I often see vans close-passing cyclists and red-faced tubsters getting their plus-sized knickers in a twist for no reason. However, I do worry for some Lime bike users. I’ve been cycling in London for thirty years and know how to do it and stay safe. And sometimes that involves jumping lights. But I worry for the casual Lime bike users who are a danger to themselves.

I’m generally tied of motorists and pedestrians opining on cyclists full stop. Last week I was cycling in to work and stopped at the red on Willow Walk. The cycle light gave me a green. I went. And a tubby pedestrian started screaming at me for jumping the lights. I know people get hot and bothered in the summer, but they really should calm down, and live and let live.

It’s not great, but this only happens when a business is in trouble and is facing bankruptcy. The landlords are free to say no. The restructuring will often then have to be approved by a High Court judge, so it’s not a total gun-to-the head. It does upset landlords quite a bit though, because if the business does go under, they’ll likely not see any pay out. So they often feel under pressure to comply.

No. It isn’t a strange way of going about things it is absolutely normal. This is part of a negation with landlords before a scheme of arrangement imposes terms over their heads later this summer. And it doesn’t really mean that Tesco is actually coming either.

How local? Last time I checked Sydenham Tennis Club had a manageable list

The proper answer, of course, is that you really do need to speak to a solicitor. You will probably be told that if the loft space is theirs, they can do what they like with it. However you can't build a proper loft conversion without changing at least some of the roof. The roof, as an external part of the building, is usually shared and not demised. They will probably need to demise it if they want to convert. But it really does depend on the specific situation.

Thanks Rips -- this isn't a secret. When I was a teacher I saw their Mandarin classes and Chinese dance classes first hand. Yes, they are regarded as 'spies' but all they are really doing is encouraging kids to think favourably about China. Anything political they say goes hilariously over the heads of the kids. The teachers are also relentlessly nice (oh how dare they), so really the enduring message they deliver is "Chinese people are nice." I don't have a massive problem with that.

FWIW, Amstel is £4 a pint Monday to Thursday at the Great Ex

This might work. Illegal though....

One can indeed now directly instruct a barrister. And there are loads on the internet. It is worth, however, double-checking anyone you choose on the Bar Council's Direct Access Portal, just to make sure. https://www.barcouncil.org.uk/bar-council-services/for-the-public/direct-access-portal.html

Protesting at 11am on a cold rainy weekday in March seems odd. Maybe they are afraid of doing it on a weekend in case they get outnumbered like they were in Honor Oak. I’ll happily pop over and support a local business by buying a few diet cokes.

That was the route id instinctively use. I've used the route to Clapham Common a few times, and from there its no distance to the river.

Thanks for your help everyone.

Hi all. I'm probably going to have to commute to a client on Hammersmith Embankment. Does anyone else do this? If so, can you share your route with me? https://london.cyclestreets.net has calculated a likely-looking route for me, but real-life experience would be great. Thanks in advance.

If so, what?s our local repeater? Accessing on a Baofeng
