This isn't a London thing, just one of 32 boroughs.

With the larger sizes I've found the best shrinking method is a hair drier on full power with the wedge type nozzle to restrict the heat to where you need it. It shrinks evenly at a controllable speed.

Oh yes, and I have 7cm circumference stuff that shrinks down nicely to give a tough shell to the lights and diffuse the light slightly.

I get a good splash of red on the rear tyre and spoke reflectors, and so the idea is to light the front wheel from inside the forks.

I need to get some pics of my led lighting project, led tape attached to a stiff card base, I used clear heat-shrink tubing, and then self-amalgamating tape to waterproof the ends. I have two 20cm lengths on the rear rack and a single strip on the front of the bike. I'm working on side lighting now.

Abu Dhabi-backed Redbird are an investor in Skydance, who are buying Paramount thanks to Trump. They also looked at buying ITV a while ago.

If I was a bat, I'd like one with a chain tensioner.

We never left ESA thankfully.

I think it smells the same because the Daily Heil were involved in the "poll", and they used to own the ES. Their stench lingers.

Guess who’s doing Gillian Duffy’s PR?
Clue: there’s a Thatcher connection.
