I thought that was just my hobby - it's winner and no mistake.

Andy ,I'm so with you on the green advanced boxes .I too think it's safer to wait in line rather than edge up on the inside and then put myself in a dodgy position ,with cars turning left ,in the green box.

Though every junction is different.

I'm a cyclist of many years and find the roads more difficult now ,mainly because of the huge increase in the number of cyclists.

The roads just aren't suitable for a combined volume of cyclists and cars ,a situation compounded by the condition of the roads with holes,dropped manhole covers etc.

Plus the range of cycling " styles " ( some proficient ,speed supremos,some pedestrian ,some out of it plugged into headphones ,some nervous ) seems greater than that of motorists.This plus the silence with which someone on a bike approaches makes it hard to anticipate /be aware of what's happening .

With motor vehicles there seems to be greater consistency ,so as a motorist you're all doing the same thing.

So sad as I adore cycling .

    • I thought the most they sell in terms of hot food at londis is like pastries and sausage rolls and for hot drinks its like costa coffee but its always a convenience store. Doesn’t look too bad in my opinion considering that shop has been closed down ever since i moved here
    • Hi Busterb, Yesterday I turned up with a scanner & towels, hoping to take a deceased tabby down to TNV. The body was moved moments before arrival & had not been turned in to any vets, rescues or animal hospitals. I am wondering if this could have been the same cat & if someone just tried to move the tabby further away from the road. Please be warned, viewers discretion is advised. but this is what the deceased tabby looked like: https://www.facebook.com/groups/900015513463302/permalink/3729980853800073/  In any case, if you haven't been able to get someone to scan or take down to a vet, I can scan tomorrow morning.
    • Wholeheartedly recommend Aria. He was polite, responsive and sorted our leak, from an old tap on an old plumbing system, with no bother and on same day.
