Stirling University Students' Union votes to go 100% vegan

*sigh*

I am 100% supportive of having LOTS of vegetarian options and LOTS of vegan options,

and I am 100% supportive of people eating less red meat for climate change,

but venues going 100% vegan makes life very hard for those of us with multiple food allergies and multiple food intolerances :(

I say this as a long-term vegetarian who would be unable to meet my food needs without eggs/cheese.

Also a lot of vegan "fake meat" is full of gluten, soy, vegetable gum and other problem ingredients.

Please define 'extremely cold temperatures' -- Not to say the advice is bad, but somewhere between 0 and -40 it seems inadequate.

1) That cartoon hasn't "not aged well," it's fulfilled its function: it has accurately predicted what would/will happen in the circumstances.

It's a rare journey in Edinburgh where our car gets the opportunity to go faster than 20 mph. I think for the journeys we make the existing 20 mph limit has probably increased our average speed very slightly but making traffic flows smoother.
