But TFL is removing bus times as we can use our phones


Anyway no one will try it with me - too loud and grumpy :)


Edit: meaning I've never even had anyone try and I'm always out maybe my (mis)demeanour

so I've made my own risk assessment

The scenarios below do show a lack of joined up thinking. On the one hand we are advised we should not use technology in the street because it is a thief magnet, but transport companies are making it necessary by using phone apps for tiemtables. Another example is parking, where old coin operated boxes are replaced by phone-in with payment by credit card.

I know it's inconsistent, but we just have to make a decision I suppose.


I have headphones on half the time so it's pretty obvious where the phone is,

it's pointless having technology if you're afraid to use it because of some

scumbags.


Hope someone steals their mopeds.

    • I wonder how much the rebranding is costing in total?  Could the money be used in a better way ? 
    • It's not fair to hold Corbyn's brother's views against him when he has never explicitly or implicitly endorsed them. And he has enough of his own terrible positions to criticise anyway.
    • Completely unacceptable. They need to fund a proper, permanent park warden presence or this sort of behaviour will get worse. Parks should be safe for all to enjoy and being assaulted and threatened by teenage gangs may put more vulnerable people off using the park altogether. If they are prepared to threaten to hurt an animal then where might it lead? Sorry Alice but we'll have to disagree on this one. This does not sound like kids just being silly; lobbing water bombs at each other is one thing, but targeting complete strangers out for a walk and minding their own business and trying to kick their dog is, in my view, no laughing matter. A group of 15 teenagers can be intimidating, not to everyone but for some it can be, especially if their behaviour is aggressive.  
    • Now I have heard everything…..not send your kid to a school because you don’t like the name - so to get my head around this, if school is outstanding, parents won’t send their child there because of name of school? Or have I not understood?
