- casualties ⬇️ 36%
- fatal/serious injuries ⬇️ 34%
- child casualties ⬇️ 46%
- child deaths ⬇️ 75%
- walkers, cyclists, motorcyclists killed/seriously injured ⬇️ 28% etsc.eu/20mph-limits... #PMQs

20mph limits in London linked to sharp fall in road injuries and deaths, new report finds
A new study published by Transport for London (TfL) has shown that the introduction of 20mph speed limits and zones on local authority-managed roads in London between 1989 and 2013 led to significant…

The Chinese curse of ‘may you live in interesting times’ could be updated to ‘we live in the dumbest possible timeline’…

Renewing my Sea Survival qualification at Seascope in Liverpool. Training alongside crews of superyachts, cruise ship staff, a yacht master instructor and other commercial skippers. Fun but cold after 2 hours.

I love a real Christmas tree. I love the look and the smell. The house always looks empty when it’s time to take the tree down.

A Christmas time tradition. Pantomime. Loosely based on a fairy tale. The Dame is a bloke, the leading man is a woman, the jokes work on 2 levels leaving awkward teenagers sniggering when they get the ‘adult’ humour. Villa Gaiety. Dick Whittington (lots of Dick jokes). Priceless entertainment.

I’d argue that 48 hours in the Isle of Man is not enough…but I would say that wouldn’t I?!

As one of the current women elected to the House of Keys, I took part in this study. It’s interesting to read the conclusions of the authors.

A refugee from the cesspit of negativity that X has descended into. I’m happy to chat about any issues, but keep it polite and respectful please. Life is too short to spend it being nasty and rude.
