Had a bit of trailer on breakfast this morning with a chap from the AA and someone from some cycling organisation pretty much agreeing we should all be more considerate to each other or not get distracted in silly arguments about road tax and license plates and our cycling infrastructure is patchy at best and they were both cyclists and drivers at various time.

That wouldn't have got you it the first time it was mentioned, or the second.I used my VideoPlus+ code from the Radio Times to make sure it was correct

How many cars have a 5,500lb luggage capacity?

Yeah I was doing some memory lane reading of the VideoPlus+ (VideoPlusPlus?!) system and it needed additional info to change the recording time if the programme moved.

A clip was played on the 6music news this morning... some twunt calling for bicycle licencing and mandatory cycle lanes. So it'll be exactly what i expect; ignorant ill-considered solutions to a sensationalised problem.

Reminder: it's on in 5 mins (in England anyway). Let's see what these guys have to say. (Actually, it's been on iPlayer already but another place to login?.... pah!)

Didn't seem to make much sense, and for me drove the wedge in a bit further between cyclist and motorists.
A common thing I'm seeing more now is drivers not even bothering about mini roundabouts, as "everyone does it", why am I any different.
Well I rewound my VCR and watched the programme.
[actually a BT tv box. Just been looking at prices of set top boxes on amazon. They seem to be less than £40! My first VCR, back in the early 80's, cost me £640. Must be one of the few products that go against the inflation trend.]
The programme itself was watchable, but seemed to draw on the extreme cases on both sides of the argument. I guess if it drew feedback from all the people who were happy with their experiences, it would have been a boring programme. Like a comment earlier, it just makes the divide wider.
