Loop detectors are tuned for car mass. Bikes don't trigger them. So the signal never changes, and cyclists either run the red or use the pedestrian button. That's a design failure. Solvable tech exists. Use it.
Look carefully. What do you see on the ground? Yes, a dusting of fresh snow on Ben Nevis yesterday. June is the fourth least snowy month on Ben Nevis (July, August, and September are top 3, in that order).

"Welcome to sewage-on-sea: Britain's most fashionable tourist hotspot Whitstable is being despoiled by floods of effluent pouring into the ocean, just as the taps in homes and businesses run dry."

90% of the soldiers on the first boats to hit the beach didn't live to see the end of the day. Look at those faces. Some of them never made it to 18.
Never forget that they paid the ultimate price for our freedom. We live our lives the way we do because of them.
A massive AI data centre is being planned next to Auchtertool village in Fife, Scotland. The height of six double decker buses and length of 100 football pitches. An estimated 20% of Scotland’s energy will be consumed by this. Imagine if this was being built next to your house?
