Great to see you Serena!
Nice town you have built there too!  I like the fact that there are no cyclists, because it means traffic can flow freely without some idiot weaving in and out of traffic, causing accidents!  :P
Def

Likewise Serena - You have been away for ages for ages
Love your city - Do you have the French Café there? - I could not make it out - That is my favourite of the building series - It is really really nice with so much inside - including the artist's attic - Very La Boehme!!
And the campervan has to be one of the best sets ever !!

Boss - I am disappointed in you - Not another anti-cycling bigot  :twak:
What most drivers do not realise is:
  • Cyclists reduce traffic on the road
  • Cyclists do not affect a drivers' overall journey time for an urban trip, yes you may have to wait a few seconds to get around them, but you will be stopped at the next set of lights in a traffic queue shortly anyway 
  • Cyclists do not cause accidents

Ah well - A bit political & challenging the Boss - I guess that is the end of me at MTo.

To be fair - There are some cycling idiots on the road - I see this much more in Sydney, where there seems to be all out war between cyclists and drivers,  compared to the UK
As a cyclist I started off on the side of the cyclists - of course - However after observing them for a few years - Some of them are not good road users - and I can see why drivers get frustrated.
They do not all stick to the rules of the road or have respect/consideration for other road users

Actually I am not sure what Ottawa or Halifax is like - But one Canadian city that has totally got cycling/motoring co-existence sorted is Vancouver
Everybody seems to cycle there - and the system, mutual respect, the road/cycle path network, really seems to work

Rant over  ;)

Very nice city Serena!!  I have the Parisian restaurant you have there next to the barber shop, I've always wanted to get the rest of the modulars and build my own city!

Glad to hear that you haven't forgotten about us!  Are you still with the police force?

As for a name, Defland has a nice ring to it!   :whistle:

Dispatcher is a great job- I used to do that years ago.  it's great when someone calls you with a problem and you send someone else to deal with it!  :D
