In London about 95% of the ones I see running reds are the uber eats etc riders, pretty much all the modded e-bikes don't stop at reds. My colleague saw a woman knocked down by one ignoring a red light at a crossing, the woman had kids with her.

I've also had a cyclist effing and blinding at me because I stopped at a red.

I thought the term was trumpanzee, but then I suppose that's insulting to chimps.

The fact that she gets so butthurt every time it's brought up just makes it sweeter.

Fun fact, Monopoly was in fact plagiarised from the Landlord's Game, by Liz Magie, which was actually against monopolies. And now it has a monopoly on the format.

I prefer Anti-Monopoly.

8 years? Phhht. Liz Truss wants you to hold her lettuce.

I can confirm. I use Mint and I don't understand it.

A TFL-run rickshaw service is also something I'm hoping for. I used to see a lot of tuktuks when I worked in central London about 10 years ago. I think a lot of them weren't licenced or something?

Every time I walk through that car park, half the vehicles are those awful 4x4s. And I always think how nice it would be if all that tarmac was replaced with grass and wildflower beds and footpaths and cycle paths and bike stands and trees. But instead it's just a rogue's gallery of these monstrosities.

I wish there was some sort of e-cargo bike taxi service or something so that the "but how will I carry my shopping home" crowd don't have an excuse.

Ridiculous things.

Right? As an example, when I switched to a plant based diet in 2014, if I wanted a vegan pizza or vegan doughnut, for example, I'd have to make them myself or seek out a specialist shop. Now these things are mainstream, even small supermarkets have them, Lidl even has vegan weeks every couple of months. That was unimaginable 10 years ago!

My actions back then did nothing alone, but it was the slow trickle of others cutting out animal products that added up and created this demand. And one person setting an example can encourage friends and family to give it a go.

I've been getting those warning emails for like two years, maybe more. Probably more actually. I just ignore them, my photos still work even if I don't use them anymore.
