I propose closing Llandaff City to all traffic and putting in ten bicycle lanes, close the pubs and turn them into Panini shops.
Did you know that Japan's traffic lights are red, orange and........blue?
It's a linguistics thing as 'ao' describes both green and blue.
Similarly, we apply the adjective 'red' to some items that are actually orange e.g. red hair, robins etc. This is due to the word 'orange' not entering the English language before the eponymous fruit was brought here.
I bore myself sometimes......
A few years back i had a thing for orange flavoured Yoghurt from M+S. I couldn't see any on the shelf in the refrigerated area so i asked one of the assistants if they had any in stock. She looked up and down the aisle and said no, the closest we have is Peach. Now, i can only conclude that she said Peach because a Peach has an orange tint on it's skin, that's the only resemblance. The closest thing to a peach is a nectarine and the closest thing to an orange is a Lemon. I can remember muttering 'Just ****off' under my breath at her.
I bore myself and plenty of others around me sometimes......
Humpf!! Traffic is traffic. If so the making of 10 cycle lanes is even more money being wasted. But it's OK if its not being wasted on motors!!
Like the several million for the one in the heath
But they put traffic lights up for the cycle lanes in town. Of course no cyclists take any notice because everyone knows cyclists are immune to traffic regulations! They still ride across the road in front of motor traffic and get irate if anyone suggest they may be doing anything wrong.
(sorry, didn't mean to get serious )
I thought that whilst queueing but not a prayer, there’s nowhere for you to go, there’s a line of cars on Cardiff Rd itself, cars that have no doubt jumped the lights on the main drag. They aren’t moving to allow you in either because it’s choc a bloc down to the Western Avenue lights and they physically can’t make a space. There’s pedestrian crossing lights just before High St and I sussed out that if you’re lucky they’ve just been on red and there’s a ‘catch up’ run then which filters back to the lights in question.
I hope my workmate’s car is back on the road Monday, otherwise I’m in it again
