Yellow box junctions are unenforceable at junctions and roundabouts without traffic lights - it shouldn?t be there. You won?t get fined but what you will get is lots of abuse from your peers, which is probably a better deterrent than a fine. I may see if I can request the collision stats for the last 36months and see what has been happening. If there is not a collision problem you won?t get money out of a safety budget, they may have to go down the regeneration and enhancement budget routes. I?d imagine what you?ll end up with there is a standard signalised t-junction with all an all red phase for pedestrian.

I grew up in rural Norfolk. When to uni in Brighton (massive change!) loved it and stayed for 12 years. Circumstances changed and moved to Norwich for 18 months but continued to work in London. All went wrong and had to move to London for the first time after working here for 10 years, picked Brockley typed it into Gumtree found a place I liked in Nunhead. *off to join the Nunhead forum*

Quite a find! Poor dog the owners must be feeding it the cheapest food. It was down to the ash content of the food. My princess has high quality feed and her dog eggs are text book.

If it doesn?t knock the Earth off its axis it will at least be the biggest pong since the last Levellers concert.

I?m happy to pay 12 quid a month for a few channels and especially the radio stations. Now to pay 42 quid a month for Sky with its recycled American TV and extra long adverts every 10mins ? now that is professional mugging!

There were a hell of a load of press outside her place this morning when I passed. I wonder if she is paying for the footways to be repaved outside her place at the moment.

The inhabitants of Easter Island can tell you all about the impact of deforestation. *bites into Brazilian beef burger*

Well you can hide and watch and have a bet on how long they wait until it finally sinks in you?re not coming back. Then when they start clearing the belt you go back with a parsnip, saying ?got it?.

Or do a large shop put everything on the belt, and then say you forgotten something and just go home. For days when you really are bored!

Sounds absolutely terrible, poor lady. All too familiar I?m afraid. Female rider to the left of a goods vehicle waiting to move off at traffic lights. Both move off together, lorry turns left over ahead bound cyclist. People question why cyclists jump traffic lights or move ahead of the traffic queue to get in front of traffic as well. The police should enforce the advance cycle stop lines at traffic signals more rigorously; these are specifically designed for cyclists to avoid this type of collision, however, drivers (especially black cab drivers) seem to think its their god given right to occupy these areas.

I was with orange for 4 years. I agree customer services were great. The network coverage was excellent within the M25 but I found really poor elsewhere so I gave them up but only for that reason.

Those are pre-Worboy?s report sign plates and will date before 1964. A little bit history here http://www.cbrd.co.uk/histories/wartoworboys/ These guys on this site have a thread somewhere in their forum listing where all these old signs are. http://www.sabre-roads.org.uk/

If we?re not responsible for climate change we are certainly responsible for irreversible damage to the environment we live in. The destruction of rainforests, pollution of our seas, decimation of species. We certainly cannot go on like this, that is a good enough reason for us to change even if you don?t believe in climate change?.perhaps we should call in environment change?

So fat lazy mini cab drivers can wake the whole street instead of knocking on the door of the requesting house

I worked in a freerange egg farm over the summers of uni. Collecting and packing the eggs from under 6000 savage hens? arses. Probably the worst job was either washing the shite from the eggs or if the shed clean down corresponded with my holidays catching the now bald hens and sending them off to slaughter.

To buy a Honda jazz they?ve got to be some old geriatric so cut them some slack they?ll be dead soon

Exactly! Torben did you work for BBrail?

Such a load of crap: British jobs for British people. Don?t they realise how many British people work aboard? It like when there are complaints that immigrants do not learn English ? have you been to Spain and seen the expat community with their Spanish issue of the Daily Mail! At least my dog can have something to chew at the weekend when the leaflet turns up.

Anyway, tube drivers can?t drive the train through red lights as the train would automatically stop. Next time you?re at the platform look down and you see these little shoes that rise and fall. All drivers are responsible for it acceleration, braking and opening the doors. Now the guys who check these safety systems they?re the ones responsible for passengers? safety.

Survey by Thomas Cook and ABTA "I think it should be explained in the brochure that the local store does not sell proper biscuits like custard creams or ginger nuts." "It's lazy of the local shopkeepers to close in the afternoons. I often needed to buy things during 'siesta' time - this should be banned." "On my holiday to Goa in India , I was disgusted to find that almost every restaurant served curry. I don't like spicy food at all." "We booked an excursion to a water park but no-one told us we had to bring our swimming costumes and towels." A tourist at a top African game lodge overlooking a waterhole, who spotted a visibly aroused elephant, complained that the sight of this rampant beast ruined his honeymoon by making him feel "inadequate". A woman threatened to call police after claiming that she'd been locked in by staff. When in fact, she had mistaken the "do not disturb" sign on the back of the door as a warning to remain in the room. "The beach was too sandy." "We found the sand was not like the sand in the brochure. Your brochure shows the sand as yellow but it was white." A guest at a Novotel in Australia complained his soup was too thick and strong. He was inadvertently slurping the gravy at the time. "Topless sunbathing on the beach should be banned. The holiday was ruined as my husband spent all day looking at other women." "We bought 'Ray-Ban' sunglasses for five Euros (?3.50) from a street trader, only to find out they were fake." "No-one told us there would be fish in the sea. The children were startled." "It took us nine hours to fly home from Jamaica to England, yet it only took the Americans three hours to get home." "I compared the size of our one-bedroom apartment to our friends' three-bedroom apartment and ours was significantly smaller." "The brochure stated: 'No hairdressers at the accommodation'. We're trainee hairdressers - will we be OK staying here?" "There are too many Spanish people. The receptionist speaks Spanish. The food is Spanish. Too many ** foreigners." "We had to queue outside with no air conditioning." "It is your duty as a tour operator to advise us of noisy or unruly guests before we travel." "I was bitten by a mosquito - no-one said they could bite." "My fianc? and I booked a twin-bedded room but we were placed in a double-bedded room. We now hold you responsible for the fact that I find myself pregnant. This would not have happened if you had put us in the room that we booked."

They get paid more than me. However, I did train to be in one of the lowest paid professions in this country. Tell you what though; if you don?t pay peanuts you do get monkeys on the tube. (Little bit of Snorky there)

No they?re striking as a guy opened the doors on the wrong side, covered it up and got sacked. I think the issue here is that the guy covered it up I am sure if he had not he would have not been sacked.
