    Have you simply forgotten to open your eyes? Easy mistake. Explains bumping into lamp posts, too.

    Is it Ramadan?

    Do you know anyone who is fasting? You'd have thought that it might have been mentioned on here.

    I could do with a secure stilt-rack at Marylebone Station.
    They have one at Liverpool Street...Or was it Oxford Circus?

    Actually for part of my commute I use a Brompton. Nice to see British engineering can still lead the world.

    a month ago (beginning of Ramadan) sun set was after 7 (around 7:15) now its around 6:25 - almost a whole hour difference in one month... sun-set is 2 minutes earlier each single day... till end of October when they add insult to injury and change the time to winter time

    Just been given four weeks notice, so unless something else comes along in that time, I've still got a month to go.
