Entirely unashamed anti car propaganda, and the more the better.

I've my eye on the ones who park along the cycle lane southbound just as it comes off Chelsea bridge. This means if you're on a bike you have to swerve out into the narrow traffic lane - it would be unfortunate if one evening this leads to a situation where I scrape one of the cars, trying to keep myself out of danger.

It'd be ok if these fuckers stuck to Knightsbridge but they don't. Every summer (though not so much this and last) these fucking things get air-freighted in by rich kids from the Gulf States and Monaco. It's a thing for them and they call it "the season". They keep them on foreign plates so they don't get done for anything, use the streets as race tracks, and now that London councils don't clamp cars for parking violations they park them wherever they want.

They're cunts and I want them to die in flames.

I'm glad the anti car propaganda is working on you and also that you are on board for some direct action.
 
The noise limit in the type approval test for new cars was 82 decibels in 1978. It's been progressively reduced. Last year it came down to 72. By 2026 it will be 68. Ha! Fuck you!

Given that pretty much all new cars will be electric by then, it's not really much of a gotcha, and given that it only applies to new cars, I hope the exhaust companies make a killing selling really fucking annoying exhausts to people who live near you 🤣

Yes, cunts with umbrellas. Umbrellas should be illegal in public places.

I had an epiphany last year that I only see people with umbrellas in towns, whereas in the country, people wear coats with hoods… and that is exactly the wrong way round. It’s in cities that there is no room for an umbrella and people should be in proper rain-proofs instead, whereas in the countryside there is plenty of room for a brolly, plus less shelter against serious rain.

Ah, but the space they take up isn’t the only disadvantage of umbrellas. They demand the use of one of your hands, get blown all over the place, and conduct lightning. Hence, country folk rely on decent clothing rather than brollies in wet weather.

And just in case you weren't aware, which is most likely the case, that's only for type approval. Which means you can bin the exhaust as soon as you buy the car, and replace it with whatever you want within legal constraints, which are nowhere near as strict as those of type approval. The legal constraints are pretty much the MOT, and unless the MOT test has changed in recent years, there's no test for exhaust noise.
Ha! 🤣

I'm 6'6" so can not only carry a brolly through the city without bumping into anyone but provide temporary shelter to passing short people as I do.

Umbrellas are carried above the head. You'd need to be at least seven foot to get a spoke in the eye from me.

If that's how you carry an umbrella then you're probably the only person in the world who does.

One of the many advantages of no longer being with my ex is I always had to carry the umbrella if it rained (“as it’s what a gentlemen should do”) even though there was a massive height difference between us, and I found it very inconvenient to walk while holding an umbrella.

Apparently if she carried the umbrella herself other people would judge her for being too mean and horrid to share her umbrella with me.

I’ve taken to carrying one when walking the dog across fields in the rain. It’s much better for avoiding being soaked through than even my best waterproof. Not so good when walking through the woods though — gets caught on branches every other minute.

This just shows that you don't live in proper countryside with real weather.

Wow. Quite a piece of work. What did you ever see in her??

In the countryside people's brains have not been turned to mush by traffic fumes so they're able to discern that a device which protects against rain but which becomes useless and dangerous if there is also wind is a byword for uselessness on a par with the waterproof teabag.
