they have a form for all the other colour bins but not black 😒

Oh no, my wheelie bin got broken in the wind last night and I have to PHONE SOMEONE to get a new one.

Timeline Cleanse #WholesomeContent

Ah so they've stuck the folders/files under Shared (next to Posts) now which is not at all intuitive to me.

Lots of tartan cyclists heading through Hazel Grove (Stockport) this morning!

Not good enough. She publicly dismissed safety concerns.

I was visiting a friend last week and they'd had a *bed* left with them for a neighbour. They only agreed because they had space in their garage but the neighbour hadn't even been told!

WRGM launches pioneering walking and cycling bus pilot - Walk Ride GM Walk Ride GM has launched an ambitious new pilot project to establish the UK’s first coordinated network of walking and cycling buses for school travel. Funded through the Active Travel England Innova...

This is brilliant – well done to @walkridegm.org.uk for the successful bid!

Happy Bugged Out! Weekender eve to all who celebrate!

of course when the congestion continues to get worse despite the lack of cycle lane / slightly more pleasant walking environment, it'll be tumbleweed
"we've tried nothing and we're all out of ideas!"

Manchester Evening News relying on anti-cycling sentiment for clicks? Again? Colour me shocked.

Coloured map of the historic county of lancashire. Below is says "The river Mersey is still the southern boundary of the county of Lancashire". Lancashire is in all caps.

I feel like you might enjoy this fly sticker that I saw in Warrington a few years ago (right next to the Mersey in fact)

Unreasonably excited to see the big Emirates Airbus flying over Edgeley this morning. Mostly because I have a child inside me that loves planes (and trains), rather than any deeper feeling for middle eastern geopolitics.

An area of ground covered in brown leaves. Shoots of green leaves (wild garlic), an inch wide and a few inches long, are sprouting in clumps.

It's here! The season is upon us!

Dead-end street sign for Squirrels Jump

Did you know that in Cheshire we have some brill Squirrel-themed streets?

Up here in GM there's no such thing as returns anymore...which means I get peak + off peak for a commute and save a few pennies!

Northern app gets you to pick a train but is pretty clear (IMO) about what other trains you can catch. I expect it's all down to wanting to be super clear to make sure no-one gets caught out. There is of course another way to do that (!)

Because they know they want to travel on a certain day, and are *pretty* sure they know when they want to travel (and therefore want to guarantee a seat) but want wiggle room.

He really should have written "don't buy non-advance tickets in advance" because that's what he means

yeah he's only talking about non-Advance (capital A) tickets (ie the ones that cost the same as on-the-day) bought in advance.
The other bit of his thread which annoyed me is where he says "oh but you can get a seat reservation without a ticket however I'm going to make you find out how yourself"

ah but this change does not apply to Advance (ie cheaper) tickets, only standard fare tickets *bought in advance* (ie the ones that are more expensive / same as on-the-day price)

Not anymore in GM! Only available up to day before.

I get quite anxious travelling and not knowing whether I can get a seat is a big deal. Bike space even more so.

I really need to understand
(a) how you make these seat reservations without a ticket
(it's all very well telling people to find out but Google is absolutely terrible for this now, I tried in December)
(b) whether the same thing is possible with bike spaces

Ordered! Love this cover, and I'm now trying to figure out the inspiration for the right hand pub (other two fairly obvious to me)

I reckon Spanish supermarkets possibly even better...a whole aisle of legs of ham! Fresh rabbit!

Stop, stop! The Labour party's reputation is already dead!

It's certainly interesting to compare and contrast the statements from the two "big" parties that lost their deposit in G&D!

Feels like the A6 and Kingsway are just straight up ignored there.

Watching my toilet spewing waste but at least the plumber is on her way. Sadly can't turn on TV because of the poo but I'm sure she'll be here soon
