Hmm, ANPR car park with 24h
Hmm, ANPR car park with 24h Evri lockers in it, with a 10-minute grace period – there is a bit of muddled thinking going on here. But what drew me to this story is this little bit of carbrain
Evri users slapped with outrageous £100 fines at The Range car park
One angry customer got a £100 ticket for going TWO SECONDS over the ‘grace period’ allowed by the private parking firm
“I was using the post lockers as a number of people do,” she said “I can only assume Parkingeye don’t realise the post lockers are there. I have appealed, as how else are you supposed to use the lockers?”

I’ve had a polo shirt made
I’ve had a polo shirt made with an embroidered Reynolds 531 decal – not massively successful at what I imagine is entry level. You can have Reynolds coffee mugs (not dishwasher proof, despite claims) and all sorts of other cycling things done as well – I’ve got a 531 mouse mat, for example.

It’s doing lots of novelty
It’s doing lots of novelty interactive stuff for people like me, and I can see some potential for it to use its processing power to help with tasks like “without going mad, do another check of these 200 scans (x-rays, CT, etc) for possible abnormalities”.
In my world if it could come back with a 90% right response to the command, “we need 250 appointments going in to the 2026 Outlook calendar for these five committees” it would have my interest.
Here we are – fixed for £80.
Here we are – fixed for £80. I’ve colour-matched and blended some new rattle can blue paint (I didn’t attempt the pearl white contrast).
Oh, that.
Oh, that.

I think you’re overly pessimistic – can’t someone dig up some now-prescient comment by St. Lady Di about Andrew being a dodgy type?I couldn’t tie these down to a particular point in the year, but I wanted to do “we’re leaving London behind and moving to the country*” followed 6 months later by “we hate the countryside – hello again, London’s bright lights!”

And finally for now, Swift
And finally for now, Swift Cycles.
So if you make bikes, you need a brand/ identity for the product. If you browse the H Lloyd website, ye olde high end bikes are branded (I) something Italian and exotic (ii) name of an old cycling pro (iii) yeoman frame builder (iv) the location of locality the bike is from, e.g. Raleigh Street, Nottingham; Carlton (v) some other abstract idea.
I fed Co pilot the images for Faith Street, Swift and Kingfisher. It came up with the Spire Cycles design. It says it wants to be helpful with refining what it produces, e.g. typeface, colourway; it even offered to do fixing holes and to make a manufacturer’s proof. But all too often you try to correct or improve some aspect it either doesn’t do it, or it introduces a new fault. Might try something a bit more obviously Scottish for Faith Street.

I did write some text when I submitted the new thread. I was going to say I’m not sure of the origins of the original – The Poke is my best deduction. Anyway, with all credit to the originator, I respectfully submit a proposed updated version. I’ve kept much of the original, but I think it’s right to recognise, given the passage of time, that some items could be replaced – with funnier ones and I have tried to come up with a couple.
