Victory for Tories and updated Parliamentary wall map

The Conservatives have achieved their first by-election gain in 26 years, taking Crewe and Nantwich from Labour. Tory candidate Edward Timpson won 7,860 more votes than his Labour rival, overturning a 7,000 Labour majority at the general election - a 17.6% swing.
David Cameron said it was a "remarkable victory" and thousands of people had voted Conservative for the first time. Labour deputy Harriet Harman said it was a "bad result" but attributed it to voters' concerns about the economy.

Cycle to work day

Yesterday saw the inaugral cycle to work day at the mapsinternational.co.uk offices.

A great turnout by around 3/4 of the staff in our office. All cycled in from various distances from 1 mile to 20 miles! And we were pretty lucky with the weather too as the sun shone all day.

A barbequed breakfast of bacon rolls followed to keep us all going for the day.

The car park was much emptier at work yesterday and I'm pretty sure that a few people will cycle in every now and again which can surely only help.
