    HS2....Euston v St Pancras

    I must say that I am not affected by the building of HS2 but am sympathetic to those whose lives will be affected by the wrecking of our countryside building HS2. Anyone who has travelled from Kent up to London on HS1 or travelled on the Eurostar, is surprised that they get quick to St...

    Heathrow v Gatwick v Stansted airport expansion

    Before starting this thread I should say I am not personally affected by any of these choices. I understand that the government are today announcing their choice,but after that parliament has to vote,then it has to go through planning applications/appeals,the runway could be many years ahead. I...

The batteries involved are small mobile phone batteries not the big Ah that we use in our e-bikes. These batteries were spotted by Royal Mail,sent through the normal postal...

    Have absolutely loved the Brits in the Olympics

    Firstly I thought Rio did a wonderful job under difficult circumstances and a low budget. Us Brits in the past had a tendency to fail at the 11th hour(football penalties) but somehow we have a much more confident and professional attitude to winning,such that the Italians accused us of over...

    Surprising how quick these Brexit price rises have happened

However,I am receiving on a daily basis rises between 7-11% on any imported product,whether from dollar or euro currency companies,the norm seems 10%. I have decided to supply from stock...

    Have just read on the Bike Europe site that Raleigh are increasing prices by 10% as a result of the currency depreciation due to Brexit,effective August 1. Most bike parts are priced in dollars so that was inevitable. Don't know whether that includes Haibike,part of the Raleigh group. It is...

    It is amazing how badly informed we were prior to the referendum

    I was speaking with one of my suppliers today,an educated guy,he was and still is so badly informed about the referendum... 1. He didn't know that the referendum had no legal power,it was purely advisory. 2. He didn't know that only parliament could trigger Article 50,the leave mechanism. 3. He...
