Gets around mostly by bike. Splits life between Scotland and London: organises events for lewishamcyclists.bsky.social. Happiest with pedal underfoot, leisurely fettling or dog cuddling.

Yes but people often unaware of alternatives. It’s a clear cross London route: Have done a few Level 3 Bikeability training sessions with experienced riders who commute on it. Part of training to learn safer routes. But takes time and frustrating if you take a wrong turn and don’t know London well.

With railcard it’s possible to get a seat on the sleeper for under £40. But agree cabins way too expensive and no longer possible to just purchase one berth: have to pay for whole cabin penalising solo travellers. Why is flying so cheap? So carbon loading. Air fares need raising, train lowering

I’m actually sad they don’t exist! I think I’m going to rebrand a tube of cheese footballs and put them in their stocking

Infuriating isn’t it? Good heads and teachers know this is not teaching. They invite guests from the community into assemblies to present topics like this: guests who have skills and knowledge in areas the teaching team may not. They don’t dump their prejudiced opinions on kids and call it teaching

My daughter had a head teacher like that: 30 years ago!

Government guidelines to make school runs happier, healthier and greener New guidance will help to design activity into our neighbourhoods and reduce congestion on the roads during school run times.

Well done Active Travel England team for publishing guidance to help councils deliver "school streets" that work for schools and local communities. These schemes restrict motor traffic outside schools during pick up and drop off times, reducing congestion, boosting safety www.gov.uk/government/n...

That moment when you go to the toilet on a very long train journey, lather your hands up with several squirts of that revolting liquid soap they have. Then discover it ran out of water before York

I just love these! I remember they tried rising bollards in Peckham quite a few years back now. It didn’t end well

I’m thinking a stocking present for the Scots in my family this Christmas. I didnt understand “Haggis Bon bons when they started to appear on menus. But this is a whole new level of odd

Bored and on a long train journey from almost as far north as you can get on this little island to not that far from its southern edge. Have all I need to keep going I think.
