In answer to your question (1) yes I'm a cyclist (2) no I certainly wouldn't want to look out of my window onto that.

They are pretty ugly things! Potentially useful, but definitely ugly.

Dan, I also wish you all the best. I'm very sorry to see the Sea Cow go. I am very picky about fish and chips and must have tried every fish and chip shop in the local area including those recommended on this forum (several of them a number of times) and by some distance yours were consistently the best (and the service was good) and I was therefore a regular customer of yours. I will look out for the van.

I agree it is a dangerous junction - mostly because of the speed you can get up to coming down the hill, but it is signposted clearly and there are also clear road markings. I suspect the problem might be that people are concentrating more on bike handling at the speed they are going and less on the road signs (and they have less time to see them and to stop in time). Those excuses can only really work for the first time you come down the hill though! After that you really ought to be careful and obey the rights of way. I'm always very conscious that I will have to stop after coming down the hill, although it is a shame to lose the 'free speed' from the hill!

Yes - bad grammar (especially when it appears in very basic sentence construction) - "could of" and "would of" being two of the most annoying. Also, any sentence with a random and meaningless "innit" tacked onto the end.

Have. Should have been.

Some people are just gratuitously rude, I'm afraid jds. On that theme - DF - it is "I would HAVE thought that.." not "I would OF thought that..." I suppose back in the good ole days the English teaching might not have been as good as it is now... Back on the market theme, I hope it is open (at least some of it) as I will then have an excuse to get out and walk off some of the excesses of the day before.

WTF is BTL? Is it a TLA?

Wow - that last post was patronising - even by some EDF standards!

I think there are plenty that are not like urban US public schools. Having said that I do like South London, so just in case I have been sticking a few quid aside!

Aargh - there it is again (some of it)!

Jeez, really? metal detectors? what sort of war torn school do you work at? I must make a note not to send my kids there (or walk past it at 3.30pm!)

I clicked on that link. Talk about weasel words from Cllr Braithwaite! That was a very irritating read. I wonder if she EVER admits she might not be 100% right.

Not to mention dismayed.

I am hugely angry about all this.

Eh?

Bonkers.

Isaiah14 you are as much a teacher as Jeremy Corbyn is likely to be the next Prime Minister.

At best!

Honestly, I don't think it needs a proper or technical explanation - it should be blindingly obvious that "gunned policeman" is not a proper use of the word "gunned". I've never heard anyone ever use that term. Innit
