Today two girls crossed the road before the red light, but as they reached the other side of the road a car came up, tooted and drove fast past.
The first reaction was concern for the two girls, as they had narrowly escaped a hit.
But then my thoughts turned to the driver.
He or she hadn't slowed down or slammed the break, they had just narrowly whistled past.
If you see kids crossing dangerously, slow down!
A march in London against austerity and for a socialist alternative congregated at Portland Place today at midday.
Several thousand rallied and set off at around 1pm down Regent Street and on to Parliament Square.
The march represented a wide cross section of British society including Muslims, Christians, Sikhs and Jews.
The cry that often could be heard on this intentionally anti-austerity march was “Free Palestine” and indeed there were many Palestinian flags on display.
Zarah Sultana MP spoke at the Parliament Square rally, lending support to a 15% rise in nurses wages.
The march passed off peacefully and in good humour.
Feel like the world needs more of this song at the minute:
