What is the point in arguing against a scheme that is working
perfectly well
elsewhere? Are you suggesting that the people of the UK are in some
way less
intelligent or able to to adapt than the people of Holland? Or are
you in
favour of further dumbing down?

Look upon this as a first step in despatching Nanny back to the
Nursery.

This works fine in rural parts of Britan where the councils have
neither the need nor the money to put extra signs and footpaths in.
The differennce between rural Britain and London is that in London
there is a lot more traffic, drivers are often stressed and the driving
style is completely different. As someone with experience of living in
both London and a small rural village I beleive I can make this
comment.

Also, there are some very old trees growing out of the footpaths on
Exhibition Road - are they going to be left there when the footpath
becomes the road?
