Banning Rush Hour Lorries and Other Things

Mr Beer Man

In November last year, London Assembly members unanimously agreed a motion to ban lorries during rush hour on London’s roads. Following a spate of cycling deaths in 2015 the decision couldn’t come soon enough. For the benefit of cyclists, pedestrians and other motorists, the Mayor, working alongside the government, TFL and ‘commercial partners’ is bound to implement the change.

As a cyclist this is obviously great news, all the rear end stickers in the world aren’t going to help when a vehicle starts turning across you without warning. But keeping things lighthearted – New Year, new cheer – I thought about some other things that wouldn’t be missed were the London Assembly to get together and ban them from the city.

Crazy Rents
£1000 a month is more than enough. Let’s leave it there…

Pubs That Don’t Allow Dogs
A dog is a human’s best friend; a beer is a human’s best drink (right? Right!). So… no explanation needed.

Underground Edge-Walkers
Please don’t walk so close to the edge of the platform on the Underground. The commute is stressful enough without worrying about you.

Bad Roast Dinners
I can just about handle paying £15 for a roast dinner in a pub or restaurant on a Sunday. What I can’t handle is that roast coming with hard potatoes, dry meat and lifeless Yorkshire puddings.

Fox Sex
Foxes, we get it, you’re always ‘making love’ to each other by the moonlight and that’s good for you. Just please keep the weird, strained howling noises down when you’re at it.
