Thank you, all slipped back into place now, there was a garage on the
corner part of the Henleys chain, they may be still going

Demolished many years ago. Here's the site pictured in 2006:

I would suggest that if these religious nutters really are so hamstrung by
their interpretation of their religion they just stay inside instead of
everyone else being inconvenienced - including probably the large number of
ordinary jews that live in that area.

I'm having a 'senior moment', although living for years in London I
cannot place Henley's corner, tried google maps but they think it's in
Canada, I remember junction A406 and A5 as Staples Corner (there used
to be a mattress factory there) Is it the junction at Stonebridge Park
just on the other side of the tracks from the Ace Cafe? if so where
was the Henleys (I presume Garage)?

I believe it is more usually written as "Henlys Corner" and is a name
for the junction of the A1 (Falloden Way) and the A406 (North Circular
Road).
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/A1_road_%28London%29 has a description.

I was hoping the Jerusalem Bible would have a useful link from Luke
13:15 to the Old Testament. It only gives Ex 20:8-10 which does not make
the point developed in Luke.

While my first reaction was "cobblers", I think I am pleased that TfL is
showing commitment to London's cultural diversity. A 90 second cycle
time for the lights seems likely to be short. (Longer cycles waste
proportionately less green between different phases of the cycle.) It
probably makes sense to link signals controlling the several busy
junctions in this small, complicated, busy area. cf. http://www.scoot-
utc.com/.

I think differently: we shouldn't pander to *any* religious group's
oddities, whether the religion be Judaism, Islam, Christianity, Jedi or
whatever. No-one deserves special treatment to make allowances for their own
self-imposed rules.

That's just another way of saying "sucking jew rectum".

I can't tell if you're being sarcastic or you really believe that liberal left
garbage you just wrote. Please clarify.

A 90 second cycle will be 90 seconds. Which is not short for an extremely
busy junction like that.

Exactly. It is likely to cause huge traffic queues and air pollution; which of course is why TfL acceded to this absurd demand instead of telling them plainly and bluntly where to get off. This silly nonsense is yet another reason why TfL should never have started this waste-of-money project.

Google Maps will happily find Henlys Corner (at 51.589829,-0.199835),
and so will Wikipedia
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/A1_road_(London)#Henlys_Corner.
The OP's spelling is not reliable.

This article was tucked away on something like page 43 of the paper. Imagine
if it had been specially arranged for muslims to cross the road; it would be
front page headlines in the Daily Mail.

Now Muslims Stop Our Traffic!!!
