I'll post a pic of the dashboard when I get home. It's basically one big on/off button.

I have several colleagues with two cars. Why? One does the schoolrun in the AM, the other in the PM and they can't make it work swapping days due to working times/rules.
An unexpected side-effect of both partners pulling their weight in a city (Belfast) not big enough to have good transport everywhere and rental bike routes everywhere. Yet?

It is big enough but doesn't have the demand for good public transport as households have 2 cars and don't use the public transport. Cycle routes are often described as something a city needs to invest in, you build the routes and for many that creates a safer option of cycling which they will then use. London is in a weird state where cycling is growing even with poor infrastructure and so the planner are playing catch up with the safer option being safety in numbers rather than safe cycle routes.

It's up and coming, green boxes first, now new cycle lanes.
But the distances are often still too large for box bikes which are also so expensive here due to a lack of a second hand market.
In my case: One bus to city centre. Another bus. Arrives waaay to early at school. Yet another bus to city centre. Then ANOTHER bus to work.

On the two-car thing - I think in cities rental electric cars are a great idea. And that means fewer cars needed overall.

I've often wondered whether the rise of urban beekeeping wouldn't also lead to a rise in incidents like this, but of course have no idea how frequent they were before:

There's what looks like a hive on the extension roof of a house a few doors down from me on Seymour. Can't be more than about 50m from the Salisbury.

This is about 200m away from me, I need to pop around and have a gawp on the way home

Paging @Oliver Schick
Footage from the seen shows the moment the roof of a Victorian home being renovated came crashing onto the street.

That feeling when your house collapses and it's in a conservation area and you didn't have planning permission yet.

I don't want to laugh at other people's profound hubris driven misfortune....
But inside,silently, I am. A little bit.

On the plus side, their extension may now qualify for VAT exemption.

Well, arguably the scene was seen. Nice use of homophones. :)

Well. I have no idea what has happened in this case, but pieces of land in conservation areas can be worth considerably more if something unfortunate happens to the existing structure. One problem with conservation areas is that if the protection against demolition provided by the conservation area falls away, there is often no local planning guidance to fall back on to assess future planning applications. I've seen a lot of nasty things happen around that.
(For all I know, no such suspicion may be appropriate here and the collapse may be quite innocent.)

The Russian violence is looking a bit 'organised' (and one sided):

Sorry but I have this in my head now:
