You weren’t alone. Pep sees things we don’t💁♂️
I don’t want to take too much credit for the win but I’m pretty sure me calling Nunes a “hapless cunt” mid-way through the 2nd half spurred him onto greater things.

Sadly negativity and scepticism is founded on experience in practice of turgid process under resourced public authorities and a half empty can / can’t do approach within the planning profession . It all needs a good burst of passion to get on and deliver. The JR process itself is a further burden.

Dreadful short term response to an issue which I predict will disappear within 10 years like VHS recorders and Squarials…Charging cars this way cannot be the answer into the medium term.
The Department for Transport has published guidance aimed at helping councils to boost cross-pavement, on-street charging of EVs. But could it spark parking wars by leading residents to think a space "belongs" to them? I take a look for @inews.co.uk here inews.co.uk/news/politic...
EV drivers offered new kerbside charging hack - but it could lead to parking wars
Digging a gully in the pavement outside homes could resolve major charging problem

As a driver I just came through in the dark for the first time…that mini roundabout in the middle likely to give issues…no noticeable calming in the dark. All day time visual #bydesign #betterillumination

Why have people on trains started watching videos without wearing ear phones…? Is it me or have people just lost any sense of what’s acceptable behaviour.
Should I
1- tell them to turn it off/ wear ear phones.
2-Turn on my own loud video.
3- suck it up?

With the snow falling it’s hard not to think of those sleeping rough and how difficult it must be
In Liverpool if you see someone sleeping rough, the Severe Weather Emergency Protocol has been activated today and people are urged to call this number if they see someone on the streets
