£60M on the future no chance but £201B on the benefits bill is OK. We would still be living in caves with that notion. @leatash , i've never said we shouldn't help people out. it's annoying to see so many work shy gits sat around in parks up and down the country including dawlish drinking their benefit hand outs. when the rest of us are working and have a lot of tax to pay. i don't mind ...

Evenings and early mornings are when people are generally less aware due to tiredness. I can't see any reason to drive down The Strand at 30mph. Reducing the speed limit will create a safer environment for all.
Well most people are pedestrians and drivers. Driving fast in town centres is dangerous and selfish. What's wrong with driving a bit slower in busy areas of the town?
@Brazilnut , I totally agree with you on the staff at Rock & Sole. In my review of rock and sole I purposely didn't mention the staff attitude as it was awful, I was on the verge of walking out.

If you're busy just say ...
