Apparently.

If it has no PIR and you have to switch it on manually, it's not a security light.
It's just a light.

True, but peaceful protest rarely works against tear gas, rubber bullets and water cannons.

Ian @roget.bsky.social · 1d

I still don't know, but going by the comments I'm not googling it.

What's the engagement? A visit to a foodbank?

Ian @roget.bsky.social · 1d

No, it's not normal at all. What toilets are you using? Actually, scrub that question, I don't want to know.

Ian @roget.bsky.social · 1d

No. No they don't.

When they were young, my daughter used to take her kids on fantastic expensive holidays, Florida, Mexico, Caribbean, Turkey, Greece and all the big theme parks, Disney, Universal, Sea World, etc.
They can't remember much of it at all.

Ian @roget.bsky.social · 1d

Ok mate, keep yer hair on.

I guess it's a matter of taste. To me they were always a bit self indulgent and only sporadically funny. Maybe I was just a bit too old to appreciate their style of humour.
But please, boo away, I can take it.

I used 3 car parks on a visit to Bournemouth 2 weeks ago. All different apps, no card reader available.

Who's forcing toddlers to cycle at all? Not me. If they can cycle, they can walk.

Ian @roget.bsky.social · 2d

It used to be called cash.

Why is it wrong? People, even children, are not compelled to cycle and if they choose to do so then they should abide by the law or campaign to get it changed. Pavements are for pedestrians.

I've been injured twice in motorcycle accidents caused by cars. Is it OK for me to ride on the pavement too?

Is it illegal to ride a bike on the pavement? The simple answer to this is yes. Rule 64 of the Highway Code states you must not cycle on a pavement. This is supported by section 72 of the Highway Act 1835, which prohibits 'wilfully riding' on footpaths.
