Arrgh - me poor back!

Research (and there's one of those "it means what it means" words) has revealed that driving over speed humps increases the pollution caused by cars - particularly diesels.  The government is therefore minded, apparently, to give local authorities the power to remove them, or replace them with "speed cushions" - which I assume are more gentle versions of the same idea.  I can't wait - speed bumps round where I live seem to be reproducing like rabbits, and they're the vicious sort which rattle your bones no matter how slowly you're going.  So here's hoping.
