    a shopping cart!

    Just buy loads more stuff from the supermarket so you'll save lots more 5pences. You could get it down to 15 years. By that time you won't care anyway, even if you can remember it. ;)

    a shopping cart!

    If you take it round the supermarket, you won't need to pay for carrier bags. At 5p per bag it could pay for itself in about 35 years. ;)

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    If we became Independant, how many people in England do you think would suddenly find Scottish ancestry and try for a Scottish passport? ;)

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    I qualify for both an Irish passport and an Italian passport as well as my UK passport. I'm a right mongrel.

    Locking Bike Rack Towball Mounted

    You would have to climb on top of the car to do that. a professional thief with lots of time and privacy would beat any lock. The Thule lock is secure.

    Locking Bike Rack Towball Mounted

    I have a Thule 3 bike carrier with the same struts as in the video. When you put the strut onto the carrier then tighten the other end onto the bike, it pulls the end at the carrier tight. Once locked at the bike end it can't be removed from the rack. All 3 of my struts have locks. The same key...

    There was a programme on TV where they said there was more snow left this year than previous years.

    My mother warned me about people like you. ;)

    Is making a horse dance really an Olympic Sport?

    For me, the most pointless sport in the Olympics is, men's beach volleyball. I mean, who on Earth wants to see that!

    Kudos Alamo/Stealth v G-tech e-bike.

    If Kudos advertised the Stealth or Alamo on TV as much as the Gtech they would sell lots of them. The GTech will sell as people have heard of Gtech who makes good vacuum cleaners. However, Without Kudos advertising on the TV, most people who have an Ebike or have looked at ebikes would choose...

    So many decisions!

    I doubt if the Gtech would be suitable for you. It only has a single gear and I doubt if that gear would be ok on your long steep hill. If it was it would be extremely low and frustrating on a flat road. You'll get all sorts of advice about what type of bike to get, including from me;) but the...

    Help with problem

    I had this happen to me once, I was cycling along a canal towpath which had muddy bits. It was intermittent at first but then just stopped working. It was mud on the chainring which was causing the problem, it seemed to affect the magnets. Anyway, I cleaned it off with a nice big docking leaf...
