Looks like there's a whole series of them too

Not wishing to make light of serious crimes, but my new ride to work features a more "interesting" standard of Police Notices. Not only is the above sign currently outside Jamm, but there's a sign at the bottom of my road about police finding a "live hand grenade".

It's like cycling through a frontier town

Cycling In The Snow




Today's valuable lesson, the London roads you normally love to cycle on (back streets, quiet) in the snow are the very ones that are uncleared and full of iced up speed-bumps, whereas the one you normally avoid (main roads, full-of-traffic) are pretty empty and are cleared of snow.
