You wouldn't expect to see someone jumping 60ft on to a bed in John Lewis, but it happened yesterday. And it wasn't a student prank, it was a 60 year old woman, so something must have gone drastically wrong there. My local House of Fraser has glass barriers around the escalators, something that I'm not keen of, or is it because I'm generally averse to all shopping.
There's a £47 million cycling 'superhighway' proposed fro London that will run across the city east to west. It's a huge project, and to complicate it, taxi drivers have tried to get it stopped on the grounds that it breached planning rules, takes up too much road space etc. It's no surprise that the taxi drivers are miffed, but typical that going to court seems to be a 'normal' way of going on nowadays to try and get things overturned. I thought the local planning procedures should have taken care of that.
I guess the lesson is to take your bike when you visit the capital then you don't have to worry about the black cab and Uber politics.
Oh, and mind how you go in John Lewis.
