Anyone in the west London Chiswick area - consultation on the changes that Hounslow council have made by restricting cars in two streets. It's caused a commotion among a vocal few who are doing petitions against it etc:

Any recommendations for a basic kettle that boils quickly and quietly? Not looking for a goose neck or anything specialist.

Weirdly aggressive mood out there for the Friday evening rush. Everyone going full gas, charging about.

Anyone have any experience ordering beers from Hoppily:

One of the best demonstrations of the value of restricted car traffic I can think of is to get people to go to Richmond Park at the weekend. Go to the cars permitted section first, before going over to the car free section - ask them which they'd like to see more of.

TFL are doing a survey on cycling in London during Covid and handing out fliers at various places. I was given one at Wellesley Road in Chiswick where they've put a planter to stop motor traffic. Worth engaging with. As much data they can get about what a positive impact new infrastructure can have is a good thing. They should probably also interview local residents to see how they see it e.g. the benefits of not having rat runs etc.

Yes, that's it, thanks. I guess I assumed it was a rideable since it was on the Giro site. Oh well. Not used that map website before - looks useful
My Plusnet saga is continuing potentially. Getting rubbish connection via my work laptop to work server. Seems it might be the wifi signal. Spent an hour to IT who upgraded all my wireless drivers etc but still getting same issues. Their view is the router Plusnet sent me is inferior and they should have sent something with 5ghz and taht could be the issue. This is the router:

Seems to be pretty rubbish going by the reviews. Worth pressing for Plusnet to send a more modern router?
Most of my personal devices seem OK, but I was also getting issues using Chromecast for Eurosport which might be connected.
The other possible option is digging out the old EE router to see if that can work and is any better.?
