@Mrs C - well said, the only thing that really matters is the seriously injured lady. The other dispicable act in this sad story is the 'waiting to turn right driver' who made off and is being looked for by the police. A few years ago, I got rammed from behind by a pick-up truck while stationary, boot caved in and fuel tank ruptured. Luckily only got very minor whip-lash (which no I ...
Why on Earth hasn't Webmaster taken this diabolical thread down years ago?!!
If you haven't seen this yet, it's a 'must watch' of cyclists behaving badly - scroll down to the clip - in the last sequence on it the guy learns the hard way by going completely head over heels that jacket sleeves and cycle wheels don't mix well. Sound on is best. ...
Am all for green policies but let's take a closer look at the maths for a moment. Taking the Town Quay - Newton example which I understand is 2.5km (1.5miles) and cost £3million - please correct if wrong? 1.

Having said that, in spite of all my best efforts at getting a good trader, they will always be minded to put too little cement in the concrete or source dirt cheap materials, as if it's their ...
@Lynne & roberta - absolutely don't want uncertainty blighting new housing. I think we can be fairly sure that a west of DAL will be 'an option' in the report. Luckily we only have a few weeks to wait now until finding out how it's cost/benefit is ranked by NR as an option. I will reserve further comment until then!
The fire brigade are excellent at pinpointing causes of fire - was there a definitive statement from them?
Maybe this wasn't someone 'arson around' either? Has there been a definitive statement from the fire brigade yet?
