Hope you fix your front end Liz👍👀😂😵‍💫

[dave the builder]

Shouldn’t be expensive it looks a bit like an Omega

you can't get the parts new now
It cost Lizzies insurance about 7 grand to fix her bumper   

It wasn’t just the bumper I’m afraid, but a list of front end parts damage.

so you didn't just have your front "touched up" then 

[Lizzie Zoom]

What are you lot like

[Doctor Gollum]

Bumper, bonnet, both wings, radiator, condenser, slam panel and both headlights is about £1,200 including a VX 10 year guarantee on the installation (welding/painting) of the slam panel and repainting the front end.

£7,000 has long* been very nice replacement Omega money...

*since the newest hit 5 years old in 2008

Regarding the cyclist priority, there's a clip on interweb that shows a cyclist riding in the primary position (middle of the road), then a vehicle overtakes on the opposite lane giving the cyclist plenty of room. A little bit further up the road the vehicle signals its intention to turn left but just as the vehicle is about to turn left a pedestrian has started to cross, so the driver waits while they cross the junction. The cyclist has now caught up but has switched to kerbside position so that he now has priority. The driver does see the cyclist so there is no issue, but the moral being that the cyclist will change position to suit themselves.
Put bluntly, some will take the piss.

Nothing new there, then.

What about Deliveroo riders with no lights on cutting all over the place, are they still fair game?

How about at night?

Could this be a natural compassionate and painless way to implement TB's cull of the feeble minded?.....

Trouble is you're only taking out the supply side of the problem, and not addressing the real problem which is the demand side

Cut off the supply and the demand will move on.

Biked across town this afternoon doing my best to avoid numerous zombie pedestrians on the way.  When is cull starting TB?

Round here most of the cyclists ride on the pavements, too dangerous in the road with no lights, fu**ing tw**s.

Saw several news reports last weekend that on the first day of the new regs. a group of cyclists rode along a road (Sussex I think ?) taking up the whole road and didnt let any cars pass them for 8 miles.
Looking back and laughing at the motorists stuck behind them.
Natural justice tells me you should be allowed to run over cretins like that, but the law doesnt see it that way apparently.
Could have been someone in one of the cars who needed to get to hospital urgently, or on their way to say goodbye to a loved one who was at deaths door.
Dont suppose plod are trying hard to track them down and prosecute them.
