IMO Hertfordshire's rating (still a 2) is generous. They've built a dutch-style roundabout (on a random industrial estate in Hemel) but LCWIP plans are patchy. Too much shared use (due to parking), "can't" remove mid-road hatchings to make room for protected bike lanes as used by emerg vehicles.

Only test match I've been to was in 1999, us (Eng) v NZ at the Oval. Day 4, England all out for 162 - officially made England the lowest ranked Test side. Getting thrashed by Australia is a long tradition. Could you at least let us win the Boxing Day test?

I take the tube a couple of times a week - I haven't seen graffiti on a train for years.

Reform is a party that says things that appeal to racists, fields racist candidates, fawns over racist world leaders, made a convicted racist guest of honour at their conference, and whose leader refuses to outright deny having racially abused people.

If only there were a word for such a party.
