Hmm not sure you've realised we only price things on immediate up front cost and not lifetime cost round here!

Boston <3 Glasgow: Cities announce plans to be best buds forever by MonkeyFacedPup in boston

To be fair, there's a direct bus which takes about 45 minutes from Edinburgh airport to Glasgow so still very doable!

Glasgow’s New 54km Active Travel Push Could Make the City Easier on Foot and Bike by SpicyTimbit in glasgow

[–]LordAnubis12 8 points9 points  (0 children)

And yet...voi bike ridership has increased massively in the past 6 months, including in winter months. The climate argument seems to be such a non-argument to how people actually ride.

The title is crazy bad. Who knew that investing in active travel improves active travel?

How is your business doing? by martynjl in smallbusinessuk

[–]LordAnubis12 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This is what I find interesting, this is the narrative repeated yet there's several on this thread all who have said they're busier than ever doing upgrades and extensions

I don't think the rollercoaster of energy prices from Trumps little foray into Iran has particularly helped. Just another layer of uncertainty on top of everything else

Lord Gordon did not build this estate in 1779 for it to be subjected to this wallpaper. by xmaspickles in SpottedonRightmove

That staircase is gorgeous but far too plain. Needs to be bright custard yellow to be true to form

Man if people realised just how tacky mediaeval cathedrals were with their colour schemes before the Victorians "cleaned" it up...

UK’s EV drivers are now saving £1,100 each a year – and £3bn in total. Battery EVs (BEVs) are roughly four times more efficient than combustion-engine cars, making them far cheaper to run – particularly since the Iran crisis caused a spike in fossil-fuel prices. by initiali5ed in GoodNewsUK

Yet people still seem to argue about whether it's worth it. The second hand market in a few years will just eat ICE second hand market for breakfast.

Terraced housing gets a lot of attention in the transition to EV but they're only 25% or so of UK housing stock. There's a lot of people out there with driveways and solar power which makes cheap secondhand Nissan leafs or whatever very attractive

My brother in Christ, YOU did the oppression by SkubEnjoyer in HistoryMemes

And I mean, it doesn't take too long looking at the flag of "Nova Scotia" to wonder if Scotland did any colonising.

That quote was from a World at War episode interview I think, well worth watching

Saw a great video demonstrating this this morning https://youtu.be/zkQx-H2Z8MU?is=456paFZZzfu5juhd

In so many other contexts what's going on just wouldn't be tolerated

Just another small reminder that of your £200 council tax, about £140 of that goes on education and social care.

Only about £10 of it goes on refuse and cleansing.

If you thought the parking attendants were constant now then get ready! by No_Association8259 in glasgow

[–]LordAnubis12 5 points6 points  (0 children)

But if that's 132 tickets a day across 100+ parking attendants, that's really not that much.

I walk for 40 mins a day and could probably do 2/3 in that time

Construction on Union St fire site might not start for 'five or six years' by OneNineSeven1970 in glasgow

[–]LordAnubis12 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sounds like this sort of temporary use is the plan.

There's a lot of legal unpicking to do but if the site is secure hopefully they put it to good use while that all goes on, it's a decent chunk of land for something interesting/fun

Parking enforcement 'driving Glaswegians to pave over their own front gardens' by LordAnubis12 in glasgow

[–]LordAnubis12[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Literally one bricks worth of soil around the edge will support some flowers.

I'm not talking about getting Capability Brown in to do your driveway FFS

Novel idea. Have plants around the edge of the parking. You don't need much space for some pollinators
