Signed the petition anyway had bad times with this companies drivers.

Got cut up by a RLJing AL driver this morning on Old St roundabout. My satisfaction at calling him a wanker was multiplied x2 by the fact a) he heard me, and b) he understood me.

See rant thread for my 'Addy Lee' run-in today. But for the grace of some kind of god particle I would be a soft red mush just now. Fuckends.

Brilliant. That little sortie couldn't have gone worse could it! Shit PR, lost revenue and court fees.

AL have also hired a new PR consultancy in the last few days. Coincidence?

They've got their work cut out for them.

IIRC the previous PR team wasn't that bad, but there wasn't much they could do with the owner of the company gobbing off and fucking it all up for them. Good luck to the PR guys for picking up such an toxically poisoned chalice.

The TfL statement: https://twitter.com/TfLofficial/status/223061619763200000

Glad to see sense has prevailed.

Their PR guys were alright. I dealt with them about a cycle safety initiative about six months ago. I definitely got the impression that they are under the shadow of the owner.

Where is that published, I can't find it on their website.

It's a scan of their physical mag. See the other thread. >>>>>

The mag's Twitter account is now saying editor is on holiday and that a statement will be released tomorrow. Early this afternoon they'd said:

I am astonished at the reaction to my blog, which had nothing to do with cyclists being killed. I would never joke…
…about such a thing. People have misunderstood my use of phrase. I will respond fully shortly.

I suggest people read the column and make their own minds up.

Yeah, brings to mind:
