Re: Yeah but cyclists

As someone who walks locally (but does drive too) I am sick and tired of apparently colour blind cyclists running red lights and cyclists unable to distinguish black from white so ignoring zebra crossings. It is long past the time when cyclists on public roads should be required to have insurance an...

Re: Lease Extension Negotiations Wandsworth

I am NOT an expert in this but am peripherally involved in a lease extension with Wandsworth at the moment. Assuming you are exercising a statutory right to extend I think you will find that it is not a meaningful negotiation but rather a formula being applied. So I suggest you get further advice be...

Re: New 20mph zone on the A205?

Mikeydon - you really are completely wasted on Nappy Valley - you should be writing elegiac pastoral novels describing the clip clop of heavy horses hooves pulling hay carts.

Re: Interview of the Battersea Candidates: Reform UK

Honestly ....  How on earth could anyone read the comment and conclude that it doesn't recognise that " number and size of carbon footprints do not impact the climate crisis "?  Climate change is driven by GHG concentrations in the atmosphere, whatever their source, as has been known for m...

Re: Interview of the Battersea Candidates: Reform UK

Honestly if the Reform Party man really thinks population / immigration is the environmental issue driving climate change then there really is no hope.  Human fertility is falling in many parts of the world - in fact in many countries there is a real fear of a demographic crash as more and more olde...

Re: URGENT ACTION REQUIRED : The ridiculous Labour 'Private School VAT' scam ...

I don’t have a dog in this particular fight but that left wing socialist rag the Financial Times has an article explaining that in most parts of the country there are plenty of places in state schools - and you would have to think that Labour are as stupid as the Tories for you to think that they wo...

Re: Why won’t Councils mow our public areas? Saving money at our expense.

No, it’s a pretty successful effort to enhance biodiversity and protect this precious planet of ours - you know, as someone said, “There’s no planet B”. Your children will probably thank you for it.

Re: URGENT ACTION REQUIRED : The ridiculous Labour 'Private School VAT' scam ...

I don't have skin in the game, and am not sure exactly how I feel about this issue.  I also don't know how much they think it would raise.  However you do say " whilst the Labour Party’s intention to increase funding for state schools is commendable " - I think therefore that you need to s...

Re: Told off by MIL for expecting my husband to do his family's presents.

Nothing really that helps, but as someone who has been married (to the same person) since 1977 I have say I find it very difficult to imagine a relationship being so transactional.

Re: Asked to keep children in hotel room for duration of weeding

If the heading to this conversation is correct then it's not an unreasonable request, as the children would probably make an awful mess of the weeding!

Re: What car should I buy?

Re: Kitchen sink incinerators?

It will probably follow the pattern of most other environmental initiatives - the vast majority will be absolutely fine but a few will be broken into by foxes and there will then be uproar about that few!
