Maybe it’s just something that’s on my mind today, so I’m noticing it more, but it’s interesting to see that Transport For London has launched a series of TV ads to promote bike usage, and a school in North Yorkshire is encouraging children to cycle to school by giving them a bacon sandwich when they get there. Possibly not the greatest way to encourage weight-loss – but I can see the motivation.
After all, I’d have killed for a bacon sarnie when I got in this morning.
I had to laugh today, reading about the wobbly yellow lines that a road contractor has managed to do in Peterborough. The photo that accompanies the story is brilliant – you’ve just got to be at least slightly impressed by someone so incomptent that they thought “yeah, that’ll do”.
Well, the office move is – um – stuffed at the moment. All the networking and so on has been chuffed, which is always a good start.
We’ve now got internet access and can see the work network, but email’s still knacked. Bizarre, but true.
And the bike ride? All I can say is “Fuck I’m unfit” – 6ish miles took an hour. I’m so ashamed. Still, it’ll get better. Mind, it can’t get much worse…
