Should Sort It

[teacake44]

Won't be long now before an army of council artists with their buckets of white paint are out and about painting yet more pretty pictures of bikes on the tarmac, if they can see their way clear of taking a few tons of tarmac along with them also to fill the pot holes in the roads, that would be a real winner too. Ethiopia have got better roads. :0)

[fiction-factory]

Have you been?

[fiction-factory]

Are you not keen on encouraging cycling for health and environmental reasons rather than driving?

[Mamyalynne]

Grand, good to see you thinking positive.

[alavahalf]

When was the last time you visited Ethiopia to be armed with this fact .. suppose while you start off on one about the councils, you are leaving the Government alone !

[aelmpvw]

never actually seen anyone painting a picture of a bike on the road, i must get out more

[teacake44]

12.51 Its all been done before, its just a PR exercise to avoid tackling the real problem, the manufacturers who pile the crap in the food, but that's to difficult for them to sort out.

[teacake44]

12.57 Sorry, neither have I, they use a stencil.

[davebro]

Lots of people will be enthusiastic about commuting by bike at the moment - but come the winter...

TC //manufacturers who pile the crap in the food,//
Here's a novel idea, try reading the list of ingredients, it's not rocket science.

[Zacs-Master]

Or cooking stuff from scratch.

[teacake44]

13.02 yep, you have to lose all the weight in the summer, that's if we have one. :0)

[teacake44]

13.03 Don't carry a magnifying glass with me or wear bifocals, but either way no one is stopping them putting in what they like, providing they put it somewhere on the packet, it needs taking out, not advertising it.

[sherrardk]

Is there anything you don’t moan about?

[teacake44]

12.54 I got that nearly wrong, sorry, Its the government that have started the ball rolling, ( again) and may be even leaving councils out of pocket again and more debt for another half baked idea, that no one had taken up the last time they came up with it.

[teacake44]

13.16 Can't think of anything at the moment.

[dannyk13]

TC, if you don't read the label how do you know that it contains crap?

[teacake44]

You know how you've been a copper for years and seem to know all about how that works, well I've had connections in the food industry since the 60s I know how it has worked and progressed for years, if you can call it progress, you can't.

[Zacs-Master]

So how come life expectancy has gone up since the 60s?

[teacake44]

People in their 80s 90s now yes, because they were eating food that was not messed around with, you will be lucky to reach that in the next few years.

[alavahalf]

There are now many more people in their 80s and 90s than there have ever been !
