@SchiavoPet21964 @VisionZeroWY We call it a 'kerb' in the UK. 'Curb' is dumbed down American English.

@VisionZeroWY Can we at least ask that pedestrians look both ways before they step off the curb? If I'm going 30 mph and I'm 5 feet from the intersection, prudence would dictate they wait until I've gone past them.

Pedestrians have priority at junctions. This means that drivers should give way to pedestrians crossing or waiting to cross at a junction. Approach junctions with care, reduce speed, use mirrors and check blind spots. Let’s keep everyone safe on our roads.

@EADT24 I cannot believe that Ipswich has put in a bid to be a 'city of culture'. It is an absolute desolate dump. It is intimidating to be in the town centre. 'City of multi-culture', maybe, but 'city of culture'? No.

@AHassanargi @DefiWimar Anyone else looking forward to seeing this...?

🚨 BREAKING 🇮🇷 IRAN WILL REMOVE THE U.S. BLOCKADE BY MILITARY FORCE. FORMER FOREIGN MINISTER MOTTAKI SAYS: “A NAVAL BLOCKADE MEANS A DECLARATION OF WAR.” "OUR FIGHTERS MAY ACT AS SOON AS TOMORROW OR NEXT WEEK" THIS IS EXTREMELY BAD FOR THE MARKETS!

@TheDandyDandy @sainsburys What the heck was he doing on a motorcycle in Sainsbury's? Was he trying to copy the Zoomy kid that goes into supermarkets on his BMX?

Today @sainsburys I witnessed three members of staff refusing to serve a disabled man on his motorcycle. I heard him shouting in frustration at the three who stood around him. I’m not drunk I’m disabled and they continued to refuse service to the gentleman due to his disability.

@IHPower It was fine until the last word. Don't they teach basic English grammar in schools any more?

@SandyofSuffolk It isn't falling fast enough though.

14,000 new homes planned in the beautiful north Essex countryside in the next 15 years. Why? The birth rate is falling. So why??

@snowleopardess Always best to make sure. And how would they know he was mentally ill?

So essentially his officers were repeatedly and violently kicking a mentally ill man in the head when he was already incapacitated by taser.

@Tartan_GHopper Did he understand your objection when you explained it to him? Did he turn it off?

Just be clear to everyone especially this imbecile on the 1315 Edinburgh train from Glasgow, it isnt acceptible to have a speakerphone meeting on a train

@VolodyaTretyak Art narcissistico.

What is the name of such interior style? 🤔

Why is it that English southerners pronounce the 'a' in 'can' and 'cannot' as a short 'a', but when they say 'can't' it's pronounced as a long 'a'? It's essentially the same word, so why change the pronunciation? #EnglishLanguage

@JJ88917359 @Jenny_1884 Stupid bot.

Who agrees that GPs should be forced to do face to face appointments rather than by phone? It never used to be like this so why are we having to put up with this rubbish system. We pay into the service so we should get proper service. These GPs are not doing their jobs properly. No wonder A&E are busy because you can’t get a GP appointment. Everything in this country is broken

@historyinmemes WRONG. It's Christina Koch after returning to earth after spending 328 days aboard the ISS. You should check your facts before posting.

@BrilliantMaps Wait until you hear about Gravelines with its 6 reactors, just 26 miles from Dover and 19 miles from Belgium.

@bilignb @qikipedia @grok Stupid @bilignb bot.

@qikipedia @grok Is this real?

There are more possible chess game variations than there are atoms in the observable universe.

There's a howling grammatical error in Dan George's report on the Southampton v Ipswich match, @BBCSport : "We'd have loved to of finished it off and we were millimetres away but we look forward to Saturday with a lot of confidence". ('Of' is used where 've or have should be ).

@dailybritainonx Narcissist

He is funded by a Thailand-based crypto billionaire and a man pardoned by Trump for financial crimes. He declared £384,000 in earnings up to 120 days late. His deputy has two tax scandals. He says he speaks for ordinary working people. One word. Drop it in the comments.

@LucasSa56947288 A. He just makes himself look ever more ridiculous each time he does this. Do his staff not realise that the world is laughing at him, and the USA in general because of his ridiculous antics? Why doesn't someone tell him?

Question! Do you think the WH correspondent dinner was a fake staged assassination attempt? (A: Yes (B: No

@Jenny_1884 People getting wound up by Farage and his cronies with their hollow promises and lies.

How come it seems everyone you speak to nowadays has High Blood Pressure & is on medication for it? How’s that happened & what’s causing this?

@cygnus_dr I have a Leffe 500ml, the large wine glass type. I bought a Leffe blonde in amBelgian bar about 20 years ago. It cost €8,50 when a pint in the UK was around £2.50. I decided that they must have charged me for the glass, so I kept it.

Every household in the UK contains at least one pint glass stolen from a pub.
