Again a clarification. I wasn't being critical of him imposing fines, just his ever increasing idiocy of ever increasing fines, reaching the level of £10,000 being imposed on even young unemployed people who would never have any possibility of paying them. Regardless of how unknown any...

If your long post was in any way a comment on my reply to Woosh containing this comment: "As of 5 May 2023, there were over 208,000 deaths Out of 68 millions. A pandemic yes for 1 in 327, but one of the shortest lived so not exactly the Black Death. And even much of that proportion dying...

. I know how extreme the effect on me of the Pfizer booster was, NEVER EVER AGAIN. NO IT IS NOT for me, or for the great majority of people. I've had it twice, the original infection May 2020 which probably gave some immunity since I missed both the Alpha and Delta infections, then...

I have to agree after the serious ill effect I got from the Pfizer booster in 2021, taking three months to clear up. There is no way I will ever accept another booster, or for that matter any further Covid jab, given Pfizer's blatant dishonesty over this issue and the uselessness of...

Wrong, try to get your brain working before commenting. It's certainly very much better than in the old days of lethal smog, but nothing like good enough yet, as our epidemic of asthma shows. Sometimes lethal to the young, it's far too early to be complacent about past improvements. Wrong...

I neither know nor care about where you live. I care about where I live, England, where 86% live in Towns and Cities, just 14% in villages or isolation. So proportionally, those yokels don't count enough to counter by far the best policy for the great majority. Irrelevance, not the major...

But please if any of you do so, post that thread in The Charging Post, the forum meant for subjects other than Electric Bikes. LINK .

You're right it's all too complicated, but probably deliberately so.** Originally at inception, the health service was intended to be a component of the welfare state, funded by National Insurance, but that was never anything like sufficient and the general taxation fund had be employed. Now...

Prices don't interest me, I ignore them. So long as what my money earns, plus my surplus income combine to comfortably exceed inflation, I'm happy. I'm on target to close this year 19.7% up, easily ahead of inflation enough to be unconcerned, especially at 89 years old and not able to take...

Yes, 2% on 1st October. :( But next spring it will go down again. :) .

At the stroke of midnight last night, that being the exact time I was born, I'd completed 32,507 days alive, including leap year extra days, so I'm now 89 years old. But my age today is 90, since today is my 90th first of September, and all of the following 364 days I'm still alive will be my...

You can still edit that out with it making sense: Not WW3, but you'll see. Remember this post, and if nothing happens, you can come back and laugh at me, like I did with you over your TDS hysteria. This shouldn't be discussed here, and I shouldn't have mentioned it. This forum is for ebike...

At least they've entered peacefully. More than can be said for the British when they invaded countries all over the world, stealing them and their resources, renaming them and treating their peoples appallingly with extreme violence and even enslaving them. What is happening now with...

From the late 1890s for about a decade, track racing early electric assisted bicycles was apparently a popular fad. Early cycling held many oddities like this. Calling rechargeable batteries accumulators historic too. Even in my long lifetime I remember how we took the transparent glass...

Humber had a second go at an e-tandem in 1899: Lead acid batteries and didn't appear to have any brakes! Previous year model below:
