In some cases it’s ok but people using go fund me, I have seen one today where they are asking for 15k to have an operation in London because the wait is to long on the nhs. Surely other parts of the country have specialists who wouldn’t be that expensive or take out a loan if you want it done so badly.

Had a good chat with John Robb a few years ago when I (literally) bumped into him at Reading festival.

Never buy ketchup in a squeeze bottle, still only ever buy it in a glass one. I enjoy the challenge of getting it out of the bottle and onto the food I am eating in a controlled way. A squeeze bottle takes all the skill out of it.

Fucking baffling how that’s not been outlawed. Inflation-linked I can just about cope with. Three deciding my bill needs to go up 4.5% can get to fuck.

They're just not uniform in design or delivery.
The ones in Bulkington fit the bill nice flat top just about comfortable to take at the suggested speed.

Spot on! Probably the only ones fit for purpose. The ones going through Parkhill Estate, Eastern Green are the worse. Coincidence that I use that road regularly, try to navigate as well as I can whilst not frustrating cars behind me and yet had to have the car's rear bump stops replaced on 17K!

If a fiat 500, Hyundai i10 or Peugeot 208 pulls out of me I'm know probably fecked, either because we're now going to struggle to achieve the speed limit, or I'll need to keep a very same distance as any second they could brake or simply come to a halt when approaching a parked car gap that you could get a bus through.

Bus stops near traffic lights, most of the time the buses stop on green then take up the road.

It's based from a failed policy of reversing lay-by bus stops Nick,they filled them all back in.
Idea being alongside lights staying red longer,bus lanes to frustrate us enough to give up the car for public transport.

Ohhh so they used to pull into them?

The one by the petrol station on Sandpits Lane, every fucking time there's a bus you have to wait for the next cycle of lights.

It's turgid trying to get anywhere in this City now .
But I could get across to Leamington in twenty five minutes a week ago,allowing for numerous roadworks,around six sets of lights in the first couple of miles.

Many people petitioned to abolish bus lanes in unnecessary places. They’ve all been suspended since and people still don’t drive in them.

I think a lot of that is the signage etc. Sometimes it isn't actually clear where you can and can't.

Especially when sometimes you end up with a fine through the post for using them.

There's the one in Holbrooks by the roundabout bu Burnaby Road I think it is and it gets you to the A444.

It has BUS LANE on the floor still so that probably puts people off but you can actually use it.

Yeah exactly, just get rid of the stuff on the floor but they haven't. Probably why people haven't used them.

Yeah it’s very lazy, halfhearted attempt at erasing markings. Lane still green but the text and solid line badly scorched out.

I got fined when I was a bus driver, but driving my car home after a shift. I was in auto pilot, went through a bus gate and didn’t realise until I was going down the burges. Kicked myself.

People who lack even the most basic of manners. Moved into the road today with the dog to give way to a woman wheeling her bins back to her house. No thanks or acknowledgment. It's one fucking word! I'm not asking you to move the earth you miserable cow, just to show a modicum of politeness.
