I've capped this post from the Mayor of London with an old Kipper Williams cartoon from the once great Time Out magazine. Really pleased to see my old home doing better looking after the air we breath.

I recall the SDP (who I voted for at the time) split the left vote and let the Tories in, and did it again a few years later.

Dr Who was filmed mostly in a quarry west of London wasn't it, well the Tom Baker ones were, just as Blakes 7 was filmed mostly in a wood in the same area.

I was pretty gobsmacked when this happened on my daily walk from Haymarket to Canning St. I assumed things would get better for pedestrians following the tram works, they literally got worse. The trams were built with no other thought whatsoever to other sustainable travel options.

Eighteen years as #wigtown book festival visitors. We're old hands but still get taken by surprise at how wonderful this festival is. Highlight for me this year was Jenny Lindsay and her talk on Hounded. The book is her story of losing her living, home, security and many friends. An incredible talk

That's a difficult one to work out, I think a lot of cycle journeys are at the expense of public transport. However, TfL are v good at making data public. If you scratch around enough you may find a comparison on their site: tfl.gov.uk/corporate/pu...
