Considering the Sportage.

So it’s nearly time to change the Focus and I like the crossover category of car. They look meaty and possibly more able to handle icy country roads that the BMW certainly can’t. Maybe I shouldn’t be swayed by the shape of the outside. Thought about the Ford Kuga – no bigger than the Focus [...]

Neighbourly parking.

It’s a Thursday, traditionally not the busiest day in Swingate. Busier than a Friday but not as busy as a Tuesday, obviously. But lo and behold, the sign said it’s full. And it is. A hasty 3-point turn later, I’m on my way to Daneshill. Result: spaces. Ahead of me there’s a car that’s vaguely [...]

Jumper on the roof.

Don’t you just hate when someone selfish wants to top themselves and in the process inconveniences hundreds of commuters who just want to get home rather than shuffle off this mortal coil? I know I do. Thankfully I wasn’t caught up in this incident at Stevenage station late in Saturday night/Sunday

Looking up at King’s Cross.

So we now know the new station concourse opens on March 19. We also know that they plan to knock the existing one down and create more space out front (didn’t you know – keep up!). Truth be told, there’s been work going on all over King’s Cross – laying new floors, revamping the building [...]

Danesgate closed. Daneshill needs re-calibrating.

Walking back from Southgate, you get a good look at Daneshill from the ramp leading up to the Gordon Craig Theatre/overpass. And there they are: 3 cars forlornly manoeuvring around the 'W' looking for an empty space that isn't there. How existential can you get...?

Snowy Stevenage.

Yesterday I was here because inexplicably, Danesgate was closed and Swingate and Daneshill were full. No idea why Danesgate was closed. Funny time to do work on it. They'd have to clear the snow before they could do any road marking. Must have been something that just couldn't wait.
