Change in vehicle kilometers driver, 2000 to 2024

Change in vehicle kilometers driver, 2000 to 2024

Since 2000, London has added more than 1.9 million residents (+26%), but the number of vehicle miles driven has declined by 10%; it's declined most spectacularly in the center.

Outside of London, vehicle miles traveled have increased rapidly over the same period. content.tfl.gov.uk/travel-in-lo...

Given the enforced absences it was ok. We had chances to score more. Key moments. Felt like the squad was well coached. Some players lacking yes. Blaster did really well considering. Onwards with lemsip.

BBC One - Ask Aspel with Kate Bush Michael Aspel hosts the children's request show, with guest Kate Bush. From 1978.

BBC4's doing a night of Michael Aspel stuff on Sunday, including - oh yes - an episode of "Ask Aspel" from 1978 in which Kate Bush pops in and performs "Kashka From Baghdad" while she's there. www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/m...

Cyclist suffers serious injuries in suspected hit and run on busy road A cyclist suffered potentially life changing injuries in a suspected hit and run near Swindon.

My friend's son was hit by a car whilst cycling yesterday outside Swindon. He is seriously injured. The car sped off and the police are looking for witnesses, particularly those with dashcams.

Please do share the article below if you're local to that area:

Quick note to anyone thinking of buying my books: please purchase the new Swift Press versions, NOT the relatively small number of Unbound versions still knocking about, & being sold by OOINYA. Unbound stopped paying me for my work early in 2024 and I will never see a penny for these books.

In a Costa in east London, we finally put some questions to Andrew Milne Why is he sending threatening letters? Does he think he’s committed fraud? And will he be paying the money back?

To find out what happened when we met him, read this πŸ‘‡

Ever since we started covering Andrew Milne, the solicitor who's been sending letters asking Sheffield leaseholders for thousands of pounds, we've been building up a list of questions.

Unfortunately, he's not been keen to answer them. So we eventually tracked him down to a Costa in east London.
