If are not happy with the way this is being handled. And you live in the UK. You can always write to your MP.

there is a great website:

Which makes it really easy. Simply enter your post code, select your MP, then write them an email.

I've had positive results doing this in the past. If enough people agree then your MP will take notice.

It has a "grid road system" which is vaguely grid like, and names it's roads things like H and V.. but doesn't actually line up with North South East West which makes it harder to spot :)

There is a reasonable picture illustrating it on this page here:

Which took me a while to find on google, and I personally find yellow on black hard to read, but at least it gives a good overview of the road system.

I also don't get why people don't like MK, I lived there for ages and loved it, rush hour traffic = taking 5-10 minutes longer to get across the city. Fast roads meaning you can cross the city very quickly. Great cycle paths (separated from road traffic) meaning you can cycle most places very easily. Lots of parks and open spaces. Nothing not to like tbh :).

As for navigating you quickly get used to it, certainly way better than trying to navigate around somewhere like Southampton.

Exactly,

I eat organic for 2 reasons, one is I don't want my body filled with the left over amounts of pesticides (in the case of fruit and veg) and antibiotics and hormones (in the case of meat). I especially don't want my 1 year old son's body being subjected to those if I can avoid it.

But to be honest the main reason I do it is because it tastes so much better. Carrots actually test of carrot rather than crunchy water taste you get from a standard supermarket carrot.

We get organic veg delivered to our door from a local farm and it last much longer due to shorter pick to delivery time scales. There is also the added bonus of getting a wider variety of veg.

As a result I eat a wider range of vegetables, it tastes nicer, and because of the longer shelf life I throw less away. This means that it costs me the same or less than buying normal super market veg. Couple that with the convenience of it delivered to my door it is a no-brainer really!

It costs money, but buy the file transfer edition. You get reliable and encrypted data transmission.

Simple :)

So let me get this right.... you think it is the cyclists fault if a car driver passes them on a blind corner and then has an accident? If it's a blind corner then the car driver should wait until they can see! Would you blame a tractor or other slow moving vehicle if you had a crash while trying to overtake them on a blind corner??

Cyclists cycle out from the curb because it is the safest way to cycle, otherwise they frequently end up getting run over / pushed off the road as cars try and squeeze past while traffic is in the other lane. I've been run off the road by a car trying to squeeze past then suddenly realising there is a truck coming so they need to move over more.. right into me.

I used to try and cycle in a way that made it easy for car drivers to get past etc. But I've been nearly hit, cut up and run off the road too many times. Now I cycle out from the curb and car drivers pass me properly and I've had no issues with being cut up, it is by far the safest way to cycle.
