I’ve been using the bike less for communing over the last couple of years
Is that because of the lockdown ban on group rides?
Could be an odd way of saying
Could be an odd way of saying that instead of maintaining a steady speed behind them, they accelerated into the back of them. It sounds as though the investigators aren’t much clearer at this point either, though, given that it says they are ‘trying to piece together’ what happened.
They tried to, but their aim
They tried to, but their aim was poor and they ended up liking it 5 times instead.
I think we’re better off just ignoring them as they crave the attention.I think it’s clear that the squirrel in that image is craving attention the most.
Well fair play – balancing on its tail like that is impressive.

Thanks – never heard that one
Thanks – never heard that one before. I guess from the idea of ‘shoulder’ as boundary area (like a hard shoulder)?
Your reply reminded me to go look it up – unsuccessfully, but I now know that ‘shoulder dates’ are those where demand for a theatre show etc. starts to fall away and you can’t make a full house.
Every day’s a school day.
Reversing priority at pedestrian crossings has a problem with how drivers are supposed to press the button.Only if it’s an actual button. We already have virtual sensor-based beg buttons at junctions where motor vehicle interactions with each other have to be managed – no reason why those couldn’t be used for pedestrian crossings too (though they’d probably need supplementing with a physical button for when they ignore bicycles, as they typically seem to do).

For a moment I was wondering what kind of weird-ass overkill rack setup you had there.
Then I realised it was a fence.
Where’s a headdesk smiley when you need one?
That particular stable door has been thoroughly nailed shut.I doubt that’ll be enough to stop someone driving a car through it, though.

Your comment obviously has a vital couple of watts saving over mine.
I’ll just return the slowest pair.Are you going to be testing them in the wind tunnel?

I’m trying to figure out what autocorrect fail might produce ‘Autumn shoulder’ and coming up blank. Is it just an idiom I’m unfamiliar with?
I have a strange picture in my head of people trying to wear gloves on their shoulders.

But the majority are not driving anywhere near that far, as discussed already. Many are simply panic buying but while doing so getting as much fuel as possible.I think ww’s point is that if those people have set out to put £60 in, they’re going to put £60 in despite not needing it, even if it means visiting two petrol stations and doubling the amount of queueing they do. Because people aren’t rational, particularly in a panic.
Meanwhile, those who do need it are also unnecessarily forced to queue twice.

Even if there is 10% extra capcity in the industry, it would take 10 weeks for petrol stations to be restored to normal as long as drivers keep their tanks full, while only two weeks if everyone reverts to refilling once the light comes on.Well, that’s kind of my point – the reason that it’s persisting is not so much that everybody’s driving around with full tanks topping them up the whole time, but that not everybody has managed to fill their tanks yet, and won’t manage to for some time, even with more fuel being delivered than normal, so any excess will keep getting sucked in to cars that aren’t full yet.
I’m not disputing that a more sensible resolution would be for everyone to go back to refilling only when needed. I’m just saying that a more realistic one is a lengthy period of oversupply to get to the point where no more will fit in to people’s tanks. Because people.
