Westminster Bridge a total dream this afternoon without cars. Every time it happens across the world streets get reclaimed by pedestrians. A joy. More please.pic.twitter.com/rkMOfrQURv

Who goes shopping, with a small child, in heels?
Somebody who wants to turn even the most simple observation into an argument?
No high heels here, but a wedding dress. I have cycled in a ball gown a heels. Look for solutions, not problems. We were car free for 4 years, including when my child was a baby, and did all our shopping without cars.pic.twitter.com/7zGZUZCuvn
Cycling to another wedding. High heels in basket.pic.twitter.com/r3cWW1Y8Lf
We have 2 small children and we cycle into town to do our shopping.
The only people who try to do their shopping in high heels dragging round their kids at the MPs offices are hard of thinking ones. It is not a shop Julia.
*Attenborough voice* And here we see the Hartley-Brewer, a native bile spewer. Prone to giving way to hyperbole, and getting angry at entirely hypothetical situations she's just created. Nobody knows why she does this.
Brian Blessed voice. "FUCK OFF"
Ruffle your feathers did I? Bless you
Not really. Just seemed like a good idea. Made me laugh anyway.
Good stuff, crack on then
Why can't the millions for whom cycling, buses & tubes (think stairs in stations) are out-of-question due to ageing or other physical limitation, drive or be driven in their own cars?
In which of those categories are you including @JuliaHB1?
Obviously, none of them at moment, but even Julia can't avoid affects of ageing! (ps: If you scroll back in thread, you'll see Julia had challenged Lewis on other grounds.)
I wonder how these city centres would get anything delivered?? 
Deliveries would take place while shops are closed, shuttled in from storage facilities if necessary. Plenty of places have schemes like this. Pedestrianised shopping areas aren't exactly unusual.
So you’d put the costs of deliveries up Can you point to these vast pedestrianised cities?
I'm not advocating the entire city centre be pedestrianised, but significant parts could be. Many cities have car free areas. People are less stressed and spend more time and money shopping, so retailers seem happy to pay any costs. If you ever leave London you know this already.
London doesn’t really have a city centre though and this wasn’t about that
It kind of was though. Some streets could be pedestrianised, restrictions could be put on delivery times. It doesn't have to be all or nothing.
