Lunch at a nice little cafe/PNU near Calais Frethun TGV station. Plat du Jour €12.90, Angelus on draft & Chimay Bleu & Paix Dieu bottle amongst others. Very friendly but check opening hours first, closed @ 1330 Saturdays.

This caught my eye in Auchan, Calais. Big promotion of Bel’Gem 75cl beer. Interesting that it comes from Omer brewery in Bellegem, Belgium. Coming in at €1.64 a bottle worth buying a few, well 9. Now to taste alongside their other beers Omer and Le Fort.

I much prefer Delahaize, especially as I found a way to register for their card.

I'm afraid I could never understand people bringing easily available beers back from Belgium just to save a few ££ much better to bring back beers you can't buy over here. But I am strange. Types he wondering how to bring back Sherry from El Puerto...

That's just so wrong. In many ways.

Rye House #Speedway are looking to raise funds for legal assistance to try to keep the sport. Well worth supporting @uprightspeedway.bsky.social

£848m on removing hard shoulder on junction 3-12 on M4 nationalhighways.co.uk/roads-and-tr... A bargain obviously.

We’ve made improvements on the M4 between junctions 3 and 12 by adding an additional lane for traffic to help increase capacity and reduce congestion. We’ve also put in place new technology to smooth ...

At first glance nothing unusual about this urban street scene until you realize no motor vehicles and children playing. Our usual SE4 'In Town Without Your Car Day' event went well, lovely weather too. Tomorrow parents will have to explain why their children can't play out again.
Urban road devoid of motor vehicles.

They might have a say with a signalized pedestrian crossing. Running a consultation to change a bus stop that TfL are keen on is hardly going to improve relationships.

I tried to suggest the councils training department included courses on chairing meetings. They didn't see a need. I also suggested it to LGA re chairing pension meetings. Not such a negative response TBF.

I gave a similar 7 minute presentation to a London Councils (LEPT) meeting re Velocity in Seville (they accepted my paper!) but still found time for a photo of a Tapas bar. Sevilla is just about active travel.

I have and they have emailed the Head of department. It's only 9 days away and we have always given residents plenty of notice that formal approval given via leafletting, if we don't hear today will probably have to cancel.

Really disappointed that @lewisham.gov.uk haven't given permission for our crescent to hold a car free day on the 20 September. No problem over the last 15+ years and strange given we now have a @lewishamgreenparty.bsky.social administration.

Yes but .. he promised the good people of Croydon that he would remove them if re-elected. They did and he did. He knew the repercussions (as did TH before) and expected them. What the external commissioners will think of it is another matter.

We didn't break any law as we didn't take the money... We didn't break any laws entering the bank wearing masks and carrying shotguns as we were going grouse shooting after, and it's cold. Your Honor.

So. My wife came to UK at 17, born in India to colonial parents, worked as a nurse for 50'ish years, so if we did live in social accommodation would be OK until I die. Then on the street.
