I cannot believe that the government is just quietly asking for our (heavily lead) opinions on a dusty corner of a government website
I cannot believe this is a real question in a legitimate UK Government survey. Even ignoring the typos etc: this would fail KS3 statistics because even 12 year olds know those are some leading responses. gov.uk/government/consultati…

Brilliant that when confronted by bikes in a space they had hitherto only conceived of as being a trolley return point with inconvenient metal artwork inside, people simply.. leave the trolley adjacent to this space..

I literally watched a man heaving a trolley up the kerb just so he could leave it.. nowhere..
Thanks to everyone who has donated so far! We're that much closer to providing free-access to Olympic-size swimming ponds and community spaces for nature-based solutions to #Hackney, #Walthamstow and #Leyton. Please continue to donate and share: crowdfunder.co.uk/p/elwp
We want to provide somewhere clean and free to swim in #Hackney and #WalthamForest. Help us do it: crowdfunder.co.uk/p/elwp

Lovely day for a bit of eco-friendly tax avoidance courtesy of the cycle to work scheme! Pictures don't do justice to how truly idyllic this morning's ride was. #cycling #commute

Ugh this πŸ‘‡πŸ‘‡ Born in England to English parents, grew up 16 years in Scotland, lived in north and south England since then, no trace of a Scottish accent.. when someone asks where I'm from I genuinely don't know?!
Or I'll make a badge that says 'Yes I sound English, it's the source of all my childhood trauma, please don't bring it up'

Maybe one day I'll have lived in 1 single location long enough to confidently declare it as my own.. better make sure the accent isn't too tricky!
