Why not charge driver Paul Doyle with attempted murder at the Liverpool parade? Can anyone explain the CPS decision?

Here’s a HGV parked on the pavement. “Just go round” the driver shouted.

So drop from the pavement to the road with minimal visibility, wheel into 60 mph oncoming traffic, then bunny hop back up the kerb? Great idea, mate.

What is walking efficiency?

The nearest shop to my house is 250 metres away as the crow flies, but the shortest walking route is 1000 metres. That’s a walking efficiency of 25%.

Has anyone written about walking efficiency? Is there another name for it?

This is what a traffic jam looks like on Vredenburg in Utrecht.

These commuters are on their way to work, school, or simply enjoying a ride through the city. It’s not a special event or a demonstration — just an ordinary weekday in Utrecht

Apparently Bill Withers’ son, Bear, is also a musician, but only writes hold music.
