A virus strain with its own website! How forward-thinking of it: https://d614g.com/ And a bit more info - seemingly reasonably written (but what do I know?): https://medium.com/microbial-instincts/what-the-d614g-mutation-means-for-covid-19-spread-fatality-treatment-and-vaccine-7dda1c066f0d

Location makes a huge difference. There are such people everywhere, but they seem to be a lower proportion here than where I used to be. Maybe it is widely understood that overtaking is often difficult to impossible? - So just hang back and let it be. If there were one relatively simple...

Huh! That's a P-turn. Where you turn round while pissing and spray unpleasant yellow stuff over everyone.

There are quite a number of usable shared use paths around here. Council has recently made major improvements along the A487.

As predicted (not by me) here:

Or Caveat Emperor when advising Julius Caesar.

It is very usable. It forms part of Sustrans 4. Just before the 40 limit, you take a right to continue on it to London. The other way goes all the way to Fishguard/Abergwaun, if you wish. https://osmaps.ordnancesurvey.co.uk/51.79761,-5.01315,15 And to add to my earlier comments as a driver...

Very similar in many places. In this linked picture, just leaving a 30 mph zone, with a 40 mph actually visible (though difficult to make out here), I usually accelerate to about 40 or so. But I get overtaken by angry drivers all the time - usually while still in the 30 zone...

Definitely - a certain person with initials GW must be very surprised:

Nearby, there is a roundabout. About 250 metres before it, the speed limit drops from NSL to 30, it also separates out into what is technically a dual carriageway, with two lanes - one for turning right, the other for straight ahead. Time after time, as I approach, I drop my speed so that I...

Shades of Diamond Dogs.

One of the few restaurants I'd really like to go to has decided not to take part because of that sort of issue. Earlier, they opened for takeaways and had some very unpleasant experiences. It has now started to be a nightmare on cheap as chips days at a large burger chain - people queuing...

The current government can't even agree amongst themselves.

Exactly what it feels like. Tesco has become much busier in the past few weeks. As you go round, it is hard work avoiding the groups of people stopped for a chat. Almost invariable they are too close to each other, leave insufficient room to get past without getting too close. And appear...

No surprise there. In the report (very limited) in The Independent, there is no mention of the Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland parallel organisations. (Though they appear to be smaller than PHE.) But the new National Institute for Health Protection refers to Britain. And merging with NHS...

I was fully expecting something like that to come out - in time. I couldn't be arsed to look. Added: Partner just told me how much one costs: Total Cost £16,500 + local taxes

The unexpected, indeed - unanticipated, effects of brexit continue to astound: Marathon chocolate bars return to supermarkets - 30 years after Snickers rebrand [No idea if it is brexit-related but someone will claim it is. And how long till those who never knew Marathon will be lamenting the...

So relieved. Can now go to a casino in England. Relieved of mental capacity and the contents of my wallet. Just why would anyone want to risk Covid-19 in order to be able to risk their money? We all know the odds are stacked in favour of the house. Don't we? (And so pleased the government has...

Well, I was waiting very impatiently. Expecting a delivery (of some metal tube but not a bike) so checked and ParcelForce said it was in Kent, then National Hub. So went out. A few minutes later, PF person had to leave a note. Apparently PF had major tracking issues and nothing had been...

But if the UK is not a signatory...
