@Janeishly @engineeringstephen Oh both of these are true, they just happened at different places at different times.
The VaxStations were at Leeds University, and the Epidemiologists knew they weren't meant to run their jobs on them, but they were faster than the mini so they'd risk it sometimes. But the room safety switch was right next to the damned light switch - And you know, idiots kept accidentally setting fire to their keyboards so that didn't help.
I used to cycle back from my job at Leicester Royal Infirmary to my house a couple of miles away and I was usually not sober at the time. Now I wasn't completely mad, and I'd plotted a path back that was mostly over waste-land (lots then!) and little alley ways - So at 3am I never ever saw a driving car. But those parked ones, they just come out of nowhere you know and bang, you are off your bike, lying there in the nice flat and not moving ground and a nap would be good.
#DifferentTimes as Mark Kermode would say.
Ironically, one of the members of the Morning mailing list was killed on his bike in #Leicester, but he rode on the stupidly busy main road in the daytime (sober) which I would never even consider. Those drivers were nuts.

I was discussing how my obsession with #safety has never stretched to my own. I realise now it's an #ADHD thing, but I was diagnosed as hyperactive not AD when I was 9 or 10!
I don't think I know anyone from my #IsleOfMan days any more, which is kinda sad. I used to hang around with the girl whose family owned the amusement arcade in #Onchan most of the time though, and our way off the beach was always by the red line route, I am sure I/we nearly died a few times.
