"There's also a map here : http://map.itoworld.com/road-casualties-uk ;, which also shows pedestrians.

When I pressed 'Accept as a friend' your message disappeared and I don't seem to be able to find it again! Unfortunately I hadn't read it! ;0)
I think I saw £10 did I? That'd be fine - but would you like to send me the message again so I can read it properly this time?
Cheers, Jon
