I only posted about London's scheme and its GPS provision, which is for certain nominated zones, not pavements. I've no idea if there's similar elsewhere and I don't think there is. Helmets aren't required for the trials anyway, they are optional. .

Agreed, different in that sense. But this is exactly what has been happening for years, pot luck whether one gets charged or not. .

Maybe by seizing anything coming in from them until the VAT is paid. That's not too different from what has been happening previously with personal imports from overseas suppliers. .

I certainly wouldn't say that, after all, firemen wear helmets for a reason. .

It's far from over though, they've only reached the quarter finals. Three more matches if they are to become the European champions in this Brexit year. Which obviously Boris Johnson would like to happen. .

Yes. We've waited 55 years since the last time, but at last our national football team has beaten Germany in a major competition, the Euro 2020, delayed since last year: England 2, Germany 0. Raheem Sterling and Harry Kane the scorers. .

Yes, I remember that sad case. One trouble with small children is that their heads are a different shape which often prompts then to wear the helmet on the back of the head where it isn't effective against forward injury and leaves the helmet strap around the neck:

I can still breathe ok through the disposable one Waitrose gave me a few months ago, so no need to change it yet. When it becomes difficult to breathe through it I'll know it's full of Coronavirus and it's time to change it. ;) .

Firstly simple logic points in that direction on a time basis. A pedestrian has about 20 minutes to fall or act unwisely while walking a mile, a cyclist has only between 3 and 5 minutes typically, so less opportunity. And here's an article supporting what Mike Killay said...

Draught: 0.75 metres, 2.46 ft, so you'd be alright if it sank, just stroll ashore. ;) .

That's a pity, they are very strict around here. My Sainsburys has two guarding the entrance, one just outside and one just the other side of the entrance sanitising. Ocado deliver the equivalent of Sainsbury or Waitrose stocks and service and they've started to deliver through South Wales...

I agree, but that's their problem. Sainsburys in my area have been very good with sanitisers around the store as well as the entrance where they even provide paper towels, and even sanitiser in two places when leaving, but they've never sanitised trolleys and no supermarket sanitises baskets...

The Brexit effect, food not reaching us. The government probably likes it since it cuts our imports bill and may help the fight against obesity. .

Nobody is telling them not to, so they can carry on as long as they like. And I'm betting the government will be advising that. From the beginning the Swedish government avoided ordering people what to do, just advised them and left them to it. Nor did they shut businesses and most schools...

They have no other option, we can't pay people not to work indefinitely, we can't keep businesses shut down indefinitely, we can't keep the young out of school indefinitely It means we must protect ourselves while continuing life as normal as possible. Masking, social distancing, hygene and...

Love it. The West tries to impose blockading sanctions against Russia yet they end up net exporters fourth only to the three exporting giants, Germany, Japan, China. While the two leading sanctioners, the USA and UK end up with the worst balances of trade. When will we ever learn? Sanctions...

too close at daft speeds is what i posted, if they want to avoid being involved in an accident in those spectator confined conditions. Yes I know they want a tow, but nearly every Tour has these spectator caused accidents so they know the risk is very high in spots like that. .

I read every word, all the way through. Do I get a prize? .

Like was it David Cameron, Theresa May or Boris Johnson. Or even Nick Clegg made fall guy from when he shared the job in the Coalition government. ;) I fear we'll never know. .

For a number of reasons I've always believed that HIV/AIDS was more likely to have been man made in the USA than evolve in Africa, in part since it also has this unusual characteristic and causes combinations of diseases previously unknown. I saw this at first hand in one of the first to die...
