I’m aware of that. But on the previous app it was in the information immediately visible to me why make it more difficult to find?

The falling rain weather indicator is setting off migraine aura for me. Entirely possible it may therefore be an epilepsy trigger. Would suggest you review this as a matter of urgency.

So I’ve just looked at the bbc weather app and realised that what you initially produced was essentially a copy of that. Still really confused about why you would assume everyone wanted less functionality and information?

Please also restore hourly wind gust speeds - they are a better indicator of possible damage

Given this option was available in the previous app it would be interesting to hear the reason why it was not included in this one?

Starmer says he does not think Sauron would use an Orc army or unleash the Nazgûl to seize the one ring.

Doesn’t every child do this at some point? Both mine did. A friend had to replace the carpet as it doesn’t come out of that either.

But it not just the centre of London that has parks? My outer London borough has over 50% parkland according to this dataset data.london.gov.uk/dataset/lond...

One of the many bad things about the pandemic was the rise of QR codes and how people were conditioned into trusting them. They're actually really dangerous and a widely used way of taking unsuspecting people to phishing sites. Don't scan them; don't trust them.

Definitely include Whitechapel where the underground runs above the overground

Happy birthday Daphne!

“‘Are you still willing to help me?’

‘I am,’ said Mr. Butterbur. ‘More than ever. Though I don’t know what the likes of me can do against, against—’ he faltered.

‘Against the Shadow in the East,’ said Strider quietly. ‘Not much, Barliman, but every little helps.’”

Was told today that, since the pay-walling of Cirencester Park ten months ago, there has been a 72% reduction in people visiting.

That's 72% fewer people accessing their green space, getting less fit, getting more stressed, all to financially benefit one of the wealthiest aristocrats in Britain.

Apropos of nothing in particular: I know some people prefer videos, but if you must do a video guide to <thing>, please also do a written piece so that those of us who don't want to sit through a long video can scan the written piece for the bits we need. Thank you.

But given that is what the Victoria line was designed to do I suppose it’s not surprising. (London Transport poster - photo taken on TfL Hidden London tour of Green Park/Dover Street)

The cat distribution system really exists…

#TheTraitors theory: Charlotte is 2 people. A good (welsh) twin and an evil (english) twin. The Parent Trap meets that Doppelgangers ep of Buffy. Brb, scouring reddit for more evidence.

Although probably hate the Piccadilly most as have to use it more than any other line. Random service intervals, too many stations too close together, and the rolling stock is overdue for replacement. Only saving grace are Holden’s masterpieces.

I’ve just tried to work this out and decided that I hate most of it with the exception of the Victoria which has sensible distances between stations so is the fastest way to cross central plus an almost always reliable 2 minute service interval.

I find crochet is much quicker than knitting and have even completed crochet projects. Well some of them anyway.

Would I be correct in assuming you’re not based in London? As a pedestrian there I now check for cyclists before crossing roads as the number who stop for red lights is vanishingly small.

Safer for the cyclist maybe but not for the pedestrian. You’re also assuming that all cyclists take care to avoid pedestrians when doing this - I can assure you that they don’t.

Once when I complained that we'd promised to get something out in Spring and it was now September an official wryly replied that we never specified which hemisphere.

I worry that BlueSky won’t survive a repeat of the Biscuit Definition Wars that plagued early Twitter.

We may be about to unleash an unimaginable horror once again.

They aren't hats, they are elevensies, this is like a biscuit behind the ear.
