a brief summary of the evolution of shopping trolleys over the years

Over half (56%) of NewcastleCityCouncil's streets don't allow through-traffic.

No one complains about these streets.

LTNs aren't the problem. Change is the problem.

I wonder if this has actually improved the paths along the Tyne from Dunston to the Derwent or if it's still all a hot mess.

Community note: Hammersmith Bridge is open.

Cars don’t have “freedom of movement”; they have always been limited by the rules we apply to the operation of the road network.

Glad to clear that up.

Good lord. The replies to this thread show just how low and entitled some drivers are.
Parking on a pavement across a crossing is indefensible and wholly selfish and lazy

This is essentially Harper's failed thinking. Public transport provides societal benefits beyond the revenue. It's a public service we should pay for it as we do in subsiding driving. #WorseThanGrayling

Thatcher's government destroyed the heart of Shildon in the mid 80s and didn't care enough to do anything to alleviate the devastation they wraught. An entire town and skilled workforce chucked on the scrapheap overnight and left to rot.

I like Talking Heads very much.
Glad to see my favourite track at number 2. I just love the way the darkness of the lyrics contrasts with the upbeat funk music
