The only time I’ve ever made a complaint about a policeman was about the appalling foul language coming out of his mouth when he pulled up a cyclist riding on the pavement.
I was in my front garden on the opposite side of the road.
I’ve worked in many places where expletives are common ... I’d never heard that much bad language in one go in my life before.

Idiocy indeed @KT53. If you manage to catch one of Eric Clapton's concerts - Mr Low is often accompanying him. I'm reminded of young fairylet's little phrase when we were out driving one day, and she spotted a cyclist actually using the cycle lane 'Oh look' says she, 'you don't see that very often - a cyclist in his natural habitat'
It's a place where beautiful isn't enough of a word....
I live in west central Scotland - not where that photo is...
Another DIY triumph! Solar cell coppery owl thingy (borderline naff, but I like it). About to consign it to box of stuff that might be useful but thought cell bit looked like it had lime scale on it so I sprayed some viakal on it ( I'm sure other lime scale removers are available).
Anyway, it worked and my owl will now glow in the dark. (Why do I want a glowing owl??)
It's , of necessity, headless. As the head shades the cell. I will now find somewhere tasteful to place (not put) a headless coppery latticey owl thingy.

That drives me nuts too. Millions have been spent near us altering the road layout and improving the cycle lanes. That doesn't mean any cyclists actually use them although I suspect they were the ones who screamed loudest when they weren't there. If cyclists were automatically deemed to be 'At Fault' if they were in an accident while cycling on the road when there was a serviceable cycle lane it might concentrate their tiny minds a bit. Fans of country pursuits in their 4x4s could also use it as a new form of sport, but they mustn't chase them if they get back to the safety of the cycle lane.
My local MP is the lovely Attorney General who gave illegal advice re the proroguing of parliament, and was ticked off a couple of years ago for " forgetting " about £300,000 of income when he filed his statements . I won't be voting for him.
I think all supermarkets let you have cash, but only 50.00. There used to be a machine in our PO if you didn't want to wait at the counter but although it was free to get your balance they charged for getting cash out. Nowadays people pay for a cup of tea on their card.

@KT53- I hate to think what was spent on cycle lanes on our nearest 'main' road. ..and they still cycle on the main carriageway, which is now only one lane...because of the cycle lane.... I pay for everything on a credit card @Lyn, which is paid by diret debit each month, and then earns me points. I wouldn't use it unless there was a reward. They don't like folk like me though

I was polite and she listened to my 5 minute rant !!
