@santanderukhelp rude useless service from your fraud department. You call for an account holder who is not in UK. I offer an email adrress to contact them. You refuse to take it and hang up on me. Ironically I was thinking of moving my account to santander. Not any more.

Someone needs to do a Google Maps, but for the past. For example, typing in "London to York" but you can select a period e.g. 1450s, and it would give you the likeliest route. That'd be great.

Please excuse one more posting of the cartoons... a last chance to ask your local candidates to make cycling accessible to everyone. See action.cyclinguk.org/page/81…. Thank you!

don’t forget to wear your bicycle helmet, it will help with working out where your head was for identification purposes

Skid pan training, and other training on challenging conditions off road has not been found to improve safety of young drivers. Worst case, it can increase confidence beyond skill levels, which can increase risk taking @NealeKinnear @CommonsTrans

Please retweet & sign. Rest & overnight facilities for HGV drivers are vital for their welfare & for the safety of us all. Fatigue is a hugely under reported causation factor in fatal & serious RTCs. We all rely on HGVs, & this is vital. ⁦@RHANews⁩ petition.parliament.uk/petit…

Good for you @Chris_Boardman ! Cycle helmets are a victim blaming red herring. Do carry on the good work! RT if you agree.

WAY is the only national charity in the UK for people aged 50 or under when their partner died. It’s a peer-to-peer support group so everyone 'gets it' as they've been through it themselves. Find out more 💙 👉 widowedandyoung.org.uk/about… #WidowedandYoung #Grief #Bereavement

Is 'I drove a car to check I wasn't unsafe to drive a car' somewhat a contradiction to Law RTA 1988 sect 94?

Every time someone victim blames a cyclist on the grounds they weren't wearing hi vis, point them to this. You cannot make people see you. They have to take responsibility and look.

At the end of the second day of the @nwater_care & @NTCouncilTeam cycleway closure on Beach Road, its worth asking whether having somewhere to store your skip or park vehicles is really worth putting the public at risk? Would media pressure help? @TheSharminator @IanArkleJP
