I cycled past this whilst it was being built and after a WTF moment I asked what it was,

A massive monstrosity on the hill in a residential area.
How did it get past planning I might ask?

Got worse?

The houses behind it ain't exactly pretty either? If we all got off our arses and stopped these developments at planning stage rather than moaning after the event... its there to serve us not the other way round.

Simon Calder once put his Brompton on a train in London at the same time as I put my bike on.

I think the houses behind went up shortly before it was built. As it was going up it appeared as if they were building a prison or armament factory. Some tall trees might help.

That photo lies. That bleak concrete reservoir really towers from above the road.

Lefty tighty. Get it righty.
Huge amount of fly tipping on my ride last weekend.

Normally I'm a hand wringing lefty but when it comes to fly tippers I really think we could learn a lesson from Henry VIII and execute them by repeated dipping into boiling water. I mean, you never hear about fly tipping in Tudor times do you?

That’s because they didn’t have white vans in Tudor times, innit?
