    Fake ‘no parking’ curbs painted in SF causing confusion over CA’s new Daylighting law     SAN FRANCISCO (KGO) — Residents in San Francisco’s Richmond District are frustrated and confused after someone painted curbs red along several streets. And the city says it wasn’t them. The fake red zones are also confusing residents because of the state’s new daylighting law. “It’s extremely inappropriate and I don’t think it’s acceptable to do such things. I hope it’s illegal,” said Raeia Zhassuzakova.

More than two weeks ago I wrote to 10 of England's main water companies to see if any of their CEOs would come on Radio 2 @theJeremyVine today to take questions from @Feargal_Sharkey. You'll never guess how many agreed*. *Ok, you will. Zero.

We're looking for people with great 'I missed a really important call!' stories for the radio this lunchtime. The Heathrow boss missed the fact that his airport was shut down due to a fire because his phone was on silent. DM me if you've got one!
