The conclusion I draw from that is that large numbers of “affordable” housing will be available to first time buyers as the parasites sell up.

If that’s the beginning under Labour, I’m with it.

And the stuff about energy ratings for rented homes was introduced by the tories.

The housing he’s scrapping is a wreck and has major problems being brought up to rental spec naturally

When mine were little, they repeatedly (and annoyingly) sang "the bear went over the mountain... to eat some poo and wee". The little bastards. Bugger, that's another fucking earworm now

I am going to report you to the authorities for allowing your children to be so rude.

I thought I had seen that on here before, it's from Sept. last year.

Exactly 12 months of "leeway" then?

A crossing to get cross about

Finchampstead pedestrian crossing 'looks like a playground'

The design is defended by the council, which says the markings will make the road safer.

I like that - nicer than boring old stripey crossings that ska invita probably hates too.

Its meaningless scrawl that’s not in the Highway Code so drivers don’t know what the fuck it is or if they should stop

Then drivers should pay more attention then. It's not difficult.

“This marking on the road means nothing” is not a skill issue it’s a design failure of the marking

It’s also absolutely fatal for guide dogs as it looks like nothing they are familiar with. The space also appears to not use drop kerbs or tactile paving rendering it dangerous for disabled users


It’s overall a failure of the attempt to make a car dependent space safer for non car drivers

Oooh someone who can explain it - what do the symbols and their different sizes and colours signify?

It’s also absolutely fatal for blind dogs as it looks like nothing they are familiar with.

If a dog is blind surely it won't know what any other crossing looks like either?

That is nuts, only a lover of seagulls would think it was a good idea.

It does have tactile paving.

It looks like farmerbarleymow is still standing waiting at the side of the road after half an hour trying to work out an explanation for all the symbols

Like you said, it's a massive improvement

There's a good reason why road markings etc are standardised. It's so that all road users (and that includes pedestrians, cyclists etc) can learn what the standardised markings mean, how they should behave to ensure the safety of themselves and other road users.

If road users have to interpret the meaning of unfamiliar and seemingly random road markings and signs (where am I supposed to stop? who has the right of way?), that can actually divert attention from what other road users are doing or might be doing.

There is a train of thought that says if motorists are confused, they will slow down while they work out what's going on, thus making the roads safer. The powers that be have experimented with this in Exhibition Road, by the museums in South Kensington. This of course does not apply to cyclists.

The very least I demand of my posing is that it be done in a Brighton back alley!

At least it wasn't Quadrophenia Alley.
