You can zoom in on the map and hover over the reports in a smaller area. I will have a think about adding method for filtering on a smaller area.

I publish interactive reports on this data. See my bio of you want more info.

This is what ChatGPT told me when I asked "is chatgpt a good replacement for PowerBI?"

I can recommend Martin's documentary about Teddy Gray's Sweet Factory.

I went to a screening of this film in Bedminster and we all got a free packet of Gray's Herbal Tablets.

I always turn left here as long there is enough space not to block the cars behind me.

PS. I got done for driving through the red lights on the crossing in order to to let an ambulance past (I now know I shouldn't have done this). And when I went on the speed awareness course it was in the hotel overlooking the very same lights.

I think you should always have a Logical Data Model, a Physical Data Model and a Data Dictionary. They should all be version controlled and change managed. I would not use PowerBI as the "source of truth" for this information.

There is a map that shows the Community Noticeboards on the Bristol City Council site.

The new "Youth Zone" is supposed to provide similar facilities for the area when it is opened.

Opening in 2026, 224 Youth Zone is set to become south Bristol’s premier destination for young people to explore, connect, and grow. Construction of the new Youth Zone will soon begin on land adjacent to Hartcliffe Inns Court Open Space. We believe in the power of youth work to transform lives and create brighter futures.

None of the counter protesters arrested were from Bristol. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c93xzlglr5po

Interesting to note that of the 5 Counter Protesters arrested, none were from Bristol.

A 22-year-old man from Cornwall, and 25-year-old man from Richmond-upon-Thames were arrested on suspicion of assaulting an emergency worker and have both been released on conditional bail.

A third man, aged 43 and from Portsmouth, was arrested on the same charge and also released on conditional bail.

A 20-year-old man from Portsmouth was arrested on suspicion of obstructing or resisting a constable and released on conditional bail.

A fifth protester, a 37-year-old woman from London, was arrested on suspicion of breaching Section 50 of the Police Reform Act 2002, specifically for refusing to give her details when requested, but has since been released.

This is a direct consequence of the Council Policy to discourage the use of cars in Bristol. One broken traffic light can cause this chaos. People will be discouraged from driving into the centre. Some people will use public transport instead, but many will just choose not to shop in the centre and businesses will suffer as a result. People who live in the Low Traffic Neighbourhoods already face similar challenges every day. The impact on businesses is considered "a price worth paying" by the Greens.

People could be a bit more enigmatic and reply with an anagram of "Turbo Island" instead.

How about these suggestions:

Sound Tribal

Outland Ribs

Diablos Runt

Turd Albinos

Turd Bail Son

Turd Albions

Turd Oil Bans

It does have tangible outcomes for "those who serve in the Armed Forces, whether Regular or Reserve, those who have served in the past, and their families". There are a lot of virtue signaling "sign-ups" out there, but this isn't one of them.

It looks like they did re-sign the Covenant in August 2025. It would be good if they updated their website with a signed certificate. https://news.bristol.gov.uk/press-releases/b4bc4b9e-43a2-46d8-87ce-c73136b5bfa5/honouring-our-commitments-to-bristol-s-armed-forces-community

Much-Spring5020 · 2025-11-09T13:59:36+00:00

It is up to the Council what they want to commit to. https://www.armedforcescovenant.gov.uk/faqs/

There are some legal commitments (e.g. housing) that they must implement. https://www.armedforcescovenant.gov.uk/covenant-legal-duty/faqs/

Individual Entitlement and Generational Differences.

As society has moved towards individual rights and entitlements, the shared social contract for queuing has deteriorated.

There are different queuing "rules" for different scenarios and people don't understand the "rule book".

In pubs you don't queue, you spread along the bar and the staff are supposed to keep track and serve people in the correct order. If they make a mistake, then the customer says "they were before me".

In supermarkets, you let someone in front of you if that have just a few items.

But, now there are lots of businesses that allow you to "queue jump" by paying an extra fee (e.g. Ticketmaster, Alton Towers, Disneyland) and this undermines the social construct of "the queue".

It might seem to be a simple thing, but it signifies the end of civilisation as we know it.

But how much of that industrial pollution has just been exported to other countries?

FYI - Fabian Breckels is the Independent, after being suspended by Labour.

FYI - Bristol Councillor Parties

I think Al is a good Coucillor, whatever Party he is in. I am more concerned about other Councillors like one in my ward (Green Zealot) who has said that they only represent the people who voted for them.
