Do people genuinely get value from them or mostly choose plans for the network itself?

I’ve been using shared pavements a bit more recently and I honestly find them more stressful than helpful most of the time. I end up constantly slowing down, second guessing right of way, and dealing with awkward close passes in both directions. I get why they exist, but it doesn’t really feel like a proper solution for either cyclists or pedestrians.

It’s the same brand of tea, milk and sugar, and I’m using the same method I do at home, but it still tastes different at someone else's place. Why??

I used to think cycling glasses were a bit pointless and mostly just for people who took cycling really seriously, so I put off buying a pair for ages. Ended up getting some on a whim before a longer ride and now I genuinely wouldn’t want to ride without them. Didn’t realise how much wind, dust, rain and random flies hitting your eyes actually affects the ride until I stopped dealing with it. One of those purchases I completely underestimated at first.

I barely listen live anymore and mostly use BBC Sounds while travelling or working. Weirdly, I probably listen to more BBC content now than I did years ago because everything’s easier to find. Do you still tune in traditionally or mostly use apps now?

I saw the latest industry report saying that 40% of us aren't drinking at raves anymore, and the clubs like Phonox and Fabric are seriously levelling up their non-alcoholic game to stay afloat. I’m not sure if it’s the cost of living bite or just a general shift toward actually remembering the set the next morning. Has anyone else noticed the vibe on the dancefloor changing? Is it more serious dancing now, or does it feel a bit more like a fitness class than a party?

I realised while packing for my Paris trip that I’ve totally forgotten how to live under 100ml liquid rules. I noticed a lot of first timers asking about the liquid limits on the sub lately. Can we just pin a post that says "You can bring your full size shampoo"? I’m not sure why anyone still chooses a 45minute flight over the joy of carrying a bottle of Bordeaux through security. What’s the weirdest thing you’ve successfully brought through the Eurostar x-ray this year?
