- Transport experiment slashes car use – Shows that the imaginative use of funding can make an impact on car use through the uptake of cycling. I hope York is able to at least match these initiatives with it’s recent funding
- Stink Digital : Work : Carousel – Spectacular frozen moment video (to promote Philips new 21:9 format display screens)

- BBC – BBC Radio 2 Programmes – Paul Jones, 04/05/2009 – I listened to this show driving to Southampton. Loved Taj Mahal and "The Healer" by Santana and Johnny Lee Hooker
- Bicycle helmet laws could do more harm than good – health – 27 April 2009 – New Scientist – The debate over Cycle Helmets continues – this is the latest contribution. Of course, if you already wear a cycle helmet this article is irrelevant because you are clearly not deterred from cycling by having to wear one.
York station is free WiFi hotspot
Saturday, June 14th, 2008York station is free WiFi hotspot – Digital Lifestyle – Macworld UK
York railway station has been fitted-out with free WiFi for travellers, National Express East Coast announced today.
I love York station and now I have another excuse to go and watch the trains. “I needed to pick up my email, so I went for a coffee at the footbridge cafe.”
Parking change needed
Friday, April 4th, 2008Where do you find six pound coins to pay for parking?
This is the standard charge to leave a car for a day in the Lake District. So where do you find this much change in the middle of nowhere?
Even in Ambleside, where there are dozens of shops, there are signs that warn, No change given for the car park.” So dear Ambleside trader, how am I supposed to park to become a customer in your shop?
I bought sandwiches – offered a £10 note and asked for pound coins for the Pay and Display machine. “Sorry sir, we need our change.”
What’s the matter with you people. Go to the bank. Get a stash of change. Smile. Write a new sign – Change given here for the Car Park. Offer a service and watch the footfall increase. More footfall – more sales. It’s not rocket science. And anyway I only want to park a car – not a rocket.
The Small Boy and the Iron Horse
Wednesday, March 26th, 2008
My young grandson has gone home with him mum and dad today. He is such an inquisitive boy – there’s something he wants to explore at every turn. I felt it my grandfatherly duty to introduce him to the National Railway Museum whilst he was here in York.
Surely every small boy has a right to be shown the giant iron machines that used to haul our trains around the country in the days of steam. One day he may become a Friend of the National Railway Museum like his grandad!
Homeward
Thursday, March 20th, 2008I am drinking coffee at Peterborough Services. I was rejected at the
Pizza Hut concession because my bill was less than a fiver. A rule
invented by the manager for card paying customers. So I crossed to Le
Petit Four Francais. My card was fine for their food.
I can be petty minded for England if it suits me, but not at the
expense of profits. What’s wrong with a card?
