Bad taste

I guess it's which rules *I* am keen on vs. which risks I don't give a stuff about, because I'm alright Jack? I think that's kept people arguing for the entirety of history and I doubt being in or out of a bigger group will change that much Noting that a rather big group of states (the United States) isn't often held up as a terrible example of petty bureaucracy and risk-aversion (for better or worse).

So the fake pikeys who don't pay towards society get favoured over hard-working cyclists?

It's about time those louts on illegal e-motos were stopped, they're a menace. And I refuse to use delivery services for take-aways. Not least because I rarely get take-aways...

@oceandweller Viciously aggressive inhabitants? Can the trolls try harder please.

@jackcycles Utter bs. The worst pass i've ever seen, on a club mate, was in Essex.

@oceandweller Thanks Nige

@Callum Devereux Thanks for the update. With regards to the cyclist (victim) not wanting the footage, presumably the police can still review the footage if it is obtained and make a decision on whether to prosecute. And whilst at the time the cyclist said to the driver behind that she didn't want it, there is a chance that she could change her mind and look to pursue it soon/later.

@jackcycles Yep, couldn't agree more. Moved to London in 1977, spent 6 months thinking I was in heaven, & the next 19½ years looking for the exit. Have travelled a fair bit, & lived here & there, & I'm afraid London, by miles. is the worst pest hole I've seen. The dirt, the noise, the overcrowding, the antique facilities, the viciously aggressive inhabitants, the insane prices, it has it all. There's worse traffic in plenty of places (Capetown & Sydney famously, & Kathmandu takes some beating, but the worst I've ever come across was Lusaka in Zambia), bigger crowds here & there, dirt & poverty almost everywhere, more blatant overpricing sometimes, etc., but London just manages to be one of the worst in pretty well every category I can think of, with no redeeming features at all. Even the much-lauded parks & green spaces are no more than average. So, yeah, you're welcome to it. Just please stop assuming it's the centre of the Universe & entitled to dominate everything else. It isn't & it isn't. I live only 10 miles outside the M25, & here if I'm on the bike & trying to join a queue of traffic, cars stop to let me in - 'nuff said?

I hear Windy Miller's windmill went out of business & was converted into a Wetherspoons for a couple of years before also closing down due to lack of business (Trumpton being a famous Remain voting parish unlike those Reform voting types in Chigley,) and has subsequently become a vape shop. I'm also looking forward to hearing the jingle for the Trumpton Deliveroo brigade (you know: Chew, Spew, Bhaji McChew, Burger, Nugget & Sub).

@mitsky In this case the cyclist didn't want the footage, although on this topic, Ryan will have an update on the West Yorkshire 'dangerous cycling' case later this afternoon... :)
