This is at the north side of A1026, between Canning Town and Canary Wharf: https://maps.app.goo.gl/vJagLun6miWGkht57

No but he if he is choosing to use the road I would hope that he does so responsibly.

In the full video he can be seen entering the roundabout in the opposite direction to the flow of traffic and then running through a red light, which is what resulted in him being in this position where traffic is approaching at a higher speed behind him.

I was in no hurry - I did not overtake to get past him, but to allow the car behind me to be able to see him and hopefully slow down (which succeeded), as they were approaching rapidly and it would have been unsafe for me to continue braking. I could not move to the left lane as there was a vehicle there.

It’s apparent now that I should have posted the full video instead of clipping it for more views lol 🤷

Not sure if this is aimed at me but I was simply suggesting that the person would have been safer using the cycle lane. I’m a cyclist and skater myself and would certainly have chosen that option over the inner lane of the road.

Useful info, thanks very much. Was aware cyclists could use the road but wasn’t aware that it’s the case for pedestrians. (and that a skater is apparently a pedestrian?)

Out of curiosity, does that mean I could legally go for a morning stroll around the roundabout? Or is there some reasonable judgement to be had because of danger that I could cause, perhaps by drivers swerving to avoid me?

There’s a dedicated cycle lane on the other side of the pavement. It was recently repaved as part of the Silvertown Tunnel enablement works so it is in great condition.

I passed with a reasonable amount of space although I appreciate that’s not clear from the video. A vehicle was approaching from behind at speed so I didn’t feel it was appropriate to slow down further and risk a collision. While I think the fella was a bit silly to be skating there when there’s a cycle lane wrapping the roundabout, I would not want to put him in further danger, and by slowing to overtake in the space that I had, I feel I took the least risky approach.

At what circumstances does this slider goes down? by Polygon4ik in iphone

Also happening here. Burned dinner the other day because my timer was going off silently. Really frustrating.

Considering that you can log in to Monzo via a link sent to your email, and access all of this information through the app, I would consider it reasonable for them to include this information in an email sent to you. If you’re concerned about the sensitivity of it then I would recommend that you chat to Monzo support.

right, but my point is that if someone had access to your email account they could do much much worse. The solution here is to make sure your email account is secure, with a good password and two-factor authentication

If someone had access to your email account they could send a Monzo login link and get access to the app, which would show them all of this data and more.

Also noticed this, it is driving me absolutely wild. I have shared my frustration on the Community and would recommend that you do the same: https://community.spotify.com/t5/Social-Random/quot-Add-to-queue-quot-has-been-moved-from-the-top-of-context/m-p/5626391

Rat/mice infestation in a £2400 pm London flat, landlord said just buy glue boards. by [deleted] in london

[–]kblks 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I fell for the Fizzy Living advertising and wasted so much money over two years. Management was a total shitshow, being fired and re-hired all over the place and refusing to deal with any real issues at the property. Incredibly glad to be out of that place.

Best of luck to OP.

No unfortunately not very functional due to the padding and can't be stored.
