Will all those people who love hearing the sound of their own voices – especially those making announcements on public transport – just shut up?

Cycling is fine in principle. I just don’t like “cyclists” as a collective. They are a nuisance to motorists. They creep up in silly places at junctions, fail to signal before turning, and invariably run red lights.

An addiction I thought unbreakable appears to have vanished with remarkably little fuss. Indeed, its passing took place so quietly I barely noticed it.

We are, it seems, a nation of grubby-bra wearers.

I had complained about the lack of air conditioning, to be told I should stop moaning and cut out the air conditioning completely; that way I might help save the planet.
