what about all the cars that don't pay "road tax" then? would you ban them too natty?

well said Straferjack, a bit of sanity.

Just shows how short-sighted you are then doesn't it Foxy! If cycling is seen by parents and kids as safe then why wouldn't they be allowed to cycle? And everyone would benefit! Can't you understand that?

DFox, you are being sooooo short-sighted! Having dedicated cycle lanes like in Holland etc will mean more people will want to cycle (and walk? as less polluted) so we will have more fit people who won't be such a drain on our NHS. Fewer obese people. Children will be able to ride safely to schools - so fewer cars on road at school times. Less pollution as fewer cars. Fewer people suffering from allergies that result from this pollution. What's not to like?

It would be far too hard to do VAD on cycles. How would you keep track of them? Think of the admin costs!

Doh!!! Don't be an idiot! Cycles do not emit any carbon. Cars that don't emit carbon (eg electric) don't pay any VED either. That's what the system is based on.

Can anyone advise me please? Our hob (which was new 18 months ago) - it's a New World one - is gradually getting harder and harder to turn the taps on - one is now impossible to move at all. What is the answer to this - I imagine get a gas safe engineer to come and sort, or is it possible to DIY?

There are plans to radically improve the Elephant interchange which may help make this route more usable. The info is here - again there was a consultation about that - the summary of what came up is at the end. https://consultations.tfl.gov.uk/roads/elephant-and-castle

In that case, Lady N, the thread is fine as it is because my entry of (Barry) Islands In The Stream - Vanesa Jenkins & Bryn West featuring Sir Tom Jones & Robin Gibb was legal, so therefore were all the subsequent entries. (The island v islands thing was a red herring, as "the" was the word being followed - as you said) so back to Sound - James
