@virginmedia @Dan68651219 So what are call waiting times / availability, and how can you cancel without holding on the phone?

[Abbi Connor @abbiconnor]

@millarmind @ChptIII As many have said - 8/10/12 etc numbers with size guide (inch+cm). What’s always useful is pictures with models of a range of sizes, and indicating which size they’re wearing as well as their height/measurements

What do you think would be an acceptable number of people dying on our roads?

Powerful message by Transport Accident Commission Victoria.

..to help people use us.

We're now cheaper than Uber for any passenger journey over 2 miles - and a whole lot more hygienic and better for the city.

The story of a swimmer called Gertrude Ederle is exactly what we all need to read this week.

Why?

Let us explain.

What's the most visually beautiful movie you've ever seen?

@sarahgate10 @andrewspoooner @theroyalparks That's not the point, but whatever.

[Abbi Connor @abbiconnor]

@sarahgate10 @andrewspoooner @theroyalparks Actually, no. The main cause of danger in RP is the volume of vehicles (often speeding), ~90% of which are using it as a rat run. If my choice were being overtaken by a faster cyclist or a faster car/van/lorry, I know which I'd choose.

@theroyalparks Richmond Park has never been more pleasant to visit than since it was closed to traffic. The air was finally clean, and the roads were safe (which they will never be as long as vehicles are allowed) and therefore accessible to all. Please note for the future...?!

[Abbi Connor @abbiconnor]

@theroyalparks Sad move. From what I've seen (at what was a 'peak' time of day) the level of cyclists and pedestrians was high, but social distancing was being followed and didn't seem to be a genuine problem.

A man in a hazmat suit on a hoverboard fumigating a street... This is not quite the 2020 I was expecting...

@willnorman @TfL If this isn’t free then there’s very little point.

@jamesward01 Looks amazing 😍 Heading there for the first time this spring!

PSA for non-science folks: Wonder why everyone is emphasizing hand washing? Sounds banal, but soap really IS an amazing weapon that we all have in our homes. This is because coronavirus is an "enveloped" virus, which means that it has an outer lipid membrane layer.

Now that we've geofenced speed limits on thousands of 30lb, 20mph max scooters, it's time we do the same for the 278 million, 2-ton, 100+mph max cars that kill 40,000 Americans a year. If a scooter can do it, any modern car can. #VisionZero #mobility https://t.co/dw82RZmqEX

[Ruth-Anna @bikesandbabies]

You guys, I can't believe I'm having to do this but our bike has just been fucking nicked, from our front garden, with the wheel lock on, while I was putting the kids to bed. PLEASE SHARE! Very distinctive bike, we are lost without it. E5.
