  1. @maggi50 Following in anticipation of the South African tweets.
  2. @rosamundi not sure what *this* was but see what you mean. Blocking sight of green/red men is inexcusably selfish.
  3. @rosamundi but if you don't stare you might miss the fragment of green time. Out with friend in wheelchair today - #insufficientgreentime
  4. @josiahmortimer Depressing or perhaps something to learn from? What are they doing to engage people that political parties are not?
  5. MT @ParadiseOxford @BenjaminAddy @johnstreetdales What matters is not how far you WALK, but that you want to do it again. And again.
  6. @BenjaminAddy @johnstreetdales @ParadiseOxford think there's more like 109 journeys quicker on foot than tube? 2008 #LegibleLondon
  7. @ParadiseOxford @BenjaminAddy @johnstreetdales Bit short though!
  8. @ParadiseOxford @BenjaminAddy @johnstreetdales because roads designed for car travel? Or roads too dull? Or no people about? Or..?
  9. @ParadiseOxford @BenjaminAddy @johnstreetdales because the bus never comes?
  10. @Helzbels impressive they still fit. I relinquished my 1986 Katherine Hamnett denim jacket to my daughter the other day. Looks great on her.
  11. London is much more walkable than people realise. Terrifying how many take tube from Cov Gdn to Leics Sq! @BenjaminAddy @johnstreetdales
  12. @BenjaminAddy @johnstreetdales what is a reasonable #walking commute? 30/45 mins, an hour? If an hour then 3-4 miles entirely feasible.
  13. @johnstreetdales @BenjaminAddy *waiting* impatiently for 2011 census data - first release in September apparently with more through 2013/14.
  14. @johnstreetdales of course! As ever context is all. And 140 provides severe constraint. ;-)
  15. @adamconcar Really like #sharethespace #dropyourpace message. Works beyond the towpath too. Focus on courtesy to others has to be the way.
  16. @BenjaminAddy @johnstreetdales probably more than people imagine. Many just don't think of walking as functional transport beyond ten mins.
