AND ANOTHER THING...
One more point to add to the cyclist/ pedestrian debate (MetroTalk, Tue) – mobility scooter drivers. They are quite possibly the most aggressive of pavement users.
They always seem to be driving way too fast for busy pavements and they never seem to give way to other pavement users. They’re the real menace!
I find it hard to believe that 86 per cent of people in a poll found it difficult to know what to recycle, calling the symbols on packaging ‘confusing’ (Metro, Mon).
Never mind the symbols, take a look at the inside lid of your recycling bin where it should show you what can be recycled and what cannot – at least in my borough, Lambeth, you will find this.
A lot of this stems from laziness. In any case, ask your council if you are unsure.

Am I the only viewer who found last Saturday’s Strictly Come Dancing sickening? From the judges gushing about being ‘unable to wait’, saying 2020 is going to be the ‘best ever’ (as they say every year), to every professional dancer/celebrity going completely ballistic with joy at their ‘surprise’ pairing.
I know we were all looking forward to Strictly’s return but really! Was all that exaggerated joy about absolutely everything absolutely necessary? Didn’t any of the professional dancers’ hearts secretly sink when given their ‘celebrity’ (most of them unknown to many) partners?
Supermarket Iceland is going to sell potatoes and bread in paper – what a great idea! How about fish and chip shops wrapping their food in newspaper, or even milk and fizzy pop in glass bottles? If only we’d thought of this sooner…
