It feels like every schoolchild in London knows that it's pretty easy to break the lock on a Lime bike by just pushing it front wheel forward with a bit of force. I'm constantly hearing the "tick tick tick" of one going past my window all day every day now. Didn't notice this sound till a few months ...

I kept getting that on every other page I clicked on about a week ago.

Just me or does this feel like a bit of a stretch? I'd have maybe understood a bit more if it had red in it. And it's not like the blue is specifically in a square. Can't say I thought of the Lidl logo once when I've previously seen it in store.

The branch of Leon in Spitalfields Market has a repossession notice in the window and is permanently closed. Is that normal for a medium sized fast food chain owned by a large retailer?!

I get the link to "The Christmas Party" as a term but a political party themed Christmas campaign for Tesco seems really odd and joyless and the last thing I want to associate with Christmas.

Looks like it might be a Trainline competitor that's taking advantage of what's left of their Virgin Trains brand recognition.

As an aside, god I miss Virgin Trains West Coast. Avanti has been simply appalling since Covid, though I suppose many of their staffing problems may well have hit Virgin ...

Santander e-bikes are £3.30 per half hour. They should in theory be a bit cheaper to run than Lime as they have to be docked so batteries should be easier to change whereas Lime bikes are dumped all over the place which no doubt adds a lot of time to that process.

It's a shame about the parking ...
