Apparently, Northern Trains are going to re-record some of their announcements so they get tricky ones such as Slaithwaite right!

One of my many Cycling related ignoramuses.
Until a few years ago, I pumped my tyres up to 100-110psi. As was recommended in 1978.
With advice from posts on this forum I am now using 60psi front 28mm and 80psi back 25mm. Very happy, but, avoid snake bite, Beer+Cider.

Do you have a cite for that (unless neither you nor presta are in England).?

No I don't, and it would appear I'm mistaken.

As for laws about roadside ads... who thought this huge TV screen showing advertising videos was legal AND a good idea? It distracts me just cycling along the A646 into Todmorden. What does it do to drivers travelling 3 times as fast?

The legalisation applies of adverts. If not an advert the European Union flag is fine in your garden

Please define "Advert" for the purposes of that law.
https://www.legislation.gov.uk/uksi/2007/783/part/1/made
As far as I can see, it will apply.
[EDIT]
I have found the definition in the parent act https://www.legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/1990/8
"advertisement” means any word, letter, model, sign, placard, board, notice [F1322awning, blind], device or representation, whether illuminated or not, in the nature of, and employed wholly or partly for the purposes of, advertisement, announcement or direction, and (without prejudice to the previous provisions of this definition) includes any hoarding or similar structure used [F1322or designed], or adapted for use [F1322and anything else principally used, or designed or adapted principally for use,], for the display of advertisements, and references to the display of advertisements shall be construed accordingly;
Which (as is rather often the case with interpretation sections), is rather circular.
But yes, I think you are probably right. And in fact flags as advertisements will be quite limited, even on commercial premises, most are not flown for advertising purposes.

From the plain English guide here:
"In England, the flying of flags is treated as advertisements for the purposes of the planning regime to ensure the flags do not impact on safety or amenity. Some flags require formal consent (permission) from the local planning authority, whereas others like the Union Flag do not. The detailed controls over flag flying are set out in detailed regulations (see links below)."
"Following the UK’s departure from the European Union, the flag of the European Union is no longer included in the list of flags that do not require consent."
Given that any national or county flag is permitted, along with several others like the UN, and the fact that the EU was also permitted until 2021, it's difficult to see how this is anything other than pettiness from Brexit fanatics.
