@gragra94728133 @ICAUS Pretty sure the landlord will add it to the rent... This is a bit unfair for small households in big houses, but then with such a housing shortage, perhaps it's a good idea after all.

@Jontafkasi @4catsnomore @TherealNihal How sharp are your forks? I'm more concerned about the bowls.

@cyc1one1000 @anon_opin Busses in many UK cities. Deregulation brought an insane free for all with 10p fares running 2 minutes before competitors. Now often single operator with eye watering prices. Just because taxis still exist, doesn't mean that's not Uber's strategy.

@Jontafkasi Where I am (Adelaide), the first fortnightly bin is free, but you can buy an extra annual permit for a second one. Handy for the ridiculous number of gum leaves we get.

@the_transit_guy Windows that kids can see out of without having to stand on the seats.

@WilliamNB Seriously? Nowhere. The combination of shit infrastructure, awful drivers & not knowing how many barriers I'll have to climb over means the UK is a place I would never consider for a cycling tour.

@Nicola52032027 @Renee_Charlize @jonkudelka Came here to post this. You've pretty much nailed it word for word.

@dr_barnowl @garius Also there's a pitiful level of understanding of how difficult it is to drive a train safely.

@DameBucket @shroommuse @cleanupbritain In South Australia we have a 10c deposit scheme for bottles & cans that works very well. The drinks industry lobbied hard against it, and still lobbies against it in other states. Australia in general has much less of a litter problem than the UK.

@victoriawalks Classic tragedy of the commons. It's fun to drive along an empty beach to reach deserted spots, but absolutely horrible when everyone else does it too.

@AlexaDelbosc @blkjam Except when you've run out of annual leave so you have to go back into the office alone on the 27th...

@KojimaErgoSum @cheekmediaco Whereas almost 8 billion of us depend on the Earth's climate...

@hot_rails @notionalflit @wanyeburkett We had to correct some issues I had with a pool fence I built (plans were approved by council) in order to complete. On the flip side the house we bought had a clearly non compliant fence, and the agent just ignored us.

@jobsts @OurNewHomecoach Not familiar with Dee Why RSL. That's a major conference facility, not just some back room in the local, er, RSL, right?

@defnotabicycle @StevenGreen31 @JillWarrenECF @EuCyclistsFed @ECFEuroVelo @PATHwalkcycle @Cycling_Embassy @modacitylife As an Australian who has been to NL, I'd have to politely disagree. Aus isn't as bad as some would have you believe, but there are reasons we have one of the world's lowest cycling mode shares.

[Paul May @PaulZMay]

@JillWarrenECF @EuCyclistsFed @ECFEuroVelo @PATHwalkcycle @Cycling_Embassy @modacitylife That's definitely not what got Australia into 9th place. There's plenty of great stuff about Aus to justify this, but it's a very different experience compared to those European countries.

@CoxyJindas @lavosaurus Ouch! My job title starts with senior. It's definitely not a fake-ass job, though to be fair it's exactly the same as it would be without that prefix.

@AbigailDombey @lettertoalison @curious_founder Is propane a greenhouse gas in itself, the same way methane is?

[Paul May @PaulZMay]

@SierraClub @freep As an Australian, I'm not always aware of which NGO in the USA is which. I always thought the Sierra Club was some sort of environmental organization. Thanks for putting me right.

@LeeRyman @PRGuy17 Always thought that MAYDAY was an anglicised version of m'aidez (help me in French). Have I been wrong all this time?
