I know the first one. Lily's sister lives less than a mile away. Always makes me wander how little bike space there is there. The best way I have seen is go into the multi story and there is an entrance to BHS straight on the left. Quite a few bikes park on the pavement there and no one seems to bother them.

I added the missing comma for you and removed the incorrectly placed one - no need to thank me.

Yay, the deliberate mistake spotted. That took a lot less time than I thought. Well done Lozzo!

BMW GS riders. Why can't they admit they paid an awful lot of money for what is basically a pre-war designed 2-wheeled dumper truck, when they could have bought a far better bike for 3 grand less. (my real name's not Adolf btw)

People who generalise and can't see a situation or driver,cyclist,rider without taring them all with the same brush.Some people are more considerate than others, you have good and bad in all walks of life so why condone all because of the actions of one. By all means critisise the actions of one but keep it to that individual incident.
Example being having a go at Volvo or BMW drivers and classing "Them" as idiots whilst failing to consider that others may think the same of all SV Riders because of the actions of one individual.
Sorry but I must be more considerate than others but the whole thing just seems so futile,people make mistakes,we all trip up once in a while,let it go
