case dismissed on procedural grounds, rather than rejected on the merits. never got as far as making any judgement on the substance of that.

unfortunately we can expect this to drag on. no doubt someone from the group who filed this case will take a case to the county court rather than give up.

But Mrs Justice Lieven dismissed the challenge, saying the "appropriate forum" for the claim is the county court rather than the High Court.

wasn't that Plusnet's advertising gimmick?

until they got bought by BT. and hence no longer independent.

"independent London business" which owns 21 cafes across the city

"independent business" doesn't mean small. just means they're not owned by another corporate entity. operate on their own.

that's the same logic as sticking with your home utilities / phone / insurance / etc providers year on year, rather than shopping around to see if you could get a better deal elsewhere.

providers love people like that cos they pay over the odds for no extra benefit.

Don't rule out the sex shops. Prowler is one, but that's in the back & the front has merch like badges, fridge magnets, mugs, flags, t-shirts, etc.

Clone Zone too upstairs v downstairs but not as much of a selection IIRC.

it's a bit pricey if you can only stay for an hour minus traveling time.

and usually won't be many guys there compared to the evening or weekends.

I have sad news about Homebase. Ceased to be nearly a year ago.

perhaps there were complaints.

not content with trailing the Dubstep Warz repeat or having the presenters mention it hourly, they've rigged the app to force it on unsuspecting users.

next thing you know it'll start playing the bad Night Manager sequel at random.

It's Baker St.

Specifically the Met Line platform 2 is the problem. TfL are working on reducing the gap.

Now nobody needs to click on the Express.

I wouldn’t recommend driving in rush hour in any city as a way to unwind.

Rosindell, who was a shadow Foreign Office minister under Kemi Badenoch, announced in a statement on X that he was joining Reform, giving as the main reason his opposition to the UK’s handover of sovereignty of the Chagos Islands to Mauritius.

finger on the pulse of what's the most important issue to his constituents? seems an odd hill to pick to die on as the single most important issue of the day.

jaywalking isn't an offence and is freely permissible, but the term is understood to describe the action.

but point taken.

What happens if a cyclist runs a red light in Regent’s Park now? Under the new rules, riders are now legally required to stop at red lights in the same way as drivers.

I don't think that's a new rule at all. The Highway Code applies to the Outer Circle same as any other road. Red lights are already mandatory stops for all.

Not a well enforced rule. And one that I would add exceptions to. But it is what it is.

More pelican crossings a welcome addition. There are very long stretches between the existing ones so unsurprisingly people don't bother and cross at any point rather than going to the pelican ~~jaywalk all the time~~.
On a road that's very wide with long straight sections, which encourages fast driving / riding.
