I know this is unkind, but are the regular team away this week? This evening’s show wasn’t directed well. Lots of cutting to participants looking down, or away or having no particular expression on their face. Earlier this week I saw slides on screen for less than a second. Odd.
I have done zero research on this, but would guess the British empire would have been a bigger inspiration - seeing as it was the most recent world-scale empire.
I am no trainspotter, but this video shows why it might be appealing to some:

Looking forward to this when I get back to London
So. Just got stood up by a date I was meeting from Hinge. Was taking him to see the marvellous @JenOrpinPainter exhibition in Bethnal Green. His loss on 2 counts. I'm amazing & the show is beautiful, those empty roads & dreamy morning light. Love them. Gorgeous paintings Jen x

Whenever I hear someone talking about how easy it would be to convert an office building to residential, I think of the first repositioning project I ever worked on.
500K SF of semi-vacant office into 500+ luxury rental apts. 1958 vintage building w/ some asbestos & a complex structure.
How about a declared value business tax system?
Owners of businesses (and UK parts of international businesses), declare the value of their business. They are taxed based on that value. They can declare any value they want. The catch? They must sell if offered twice that value.
I lost a flipflop in this torrent as the River Westbourne went above ground for a few hours.

I agree, plastic poles don’t provide good enough protection. If they were made of concrete or metal, many more cyclists would feel safe, and more than five would use this lane.

Exclusive report: a series of errors by HMRC let Paul Baxendale-Walker, probably the UK's most notorious tax avoidance scheme promoter, escape a £14m penalty
He's threatening to prosecute me for harassment, sue me for libel *and* sue me for £500,000 if I report this. Here goes:

Maybe people do this because commuting is the time between home responsibilities and work responsibilities.
‘Me time’ - when you’re not being told by anyone what to do.
A possible reason why people caught doing this respond badly.

I designed a new street thing last year, and I’ve seen a few of them out in the wild now so I figured it was time tell you all about it! It’s a support for temporary road signs. It’s made from recycled plastic and replaces a steel A-frame and sandbag. 🧵1/
ALT Photo of a traiangular road works sign with a black and white arrow below it supported on a plastic structure comprising a lozenge shaped base and a vertical post. The base and post are both dark grey but the ends of the base are panted yellow. The sign is on the edge of a footway.
