I would give Toyota a fools pardon on this one. Without the infrastructure , hybrids were a necessary evil. They effectively primed the pump. I am still in this no mans land zone, where the distance from here to my place in France makes pure electric unfeasible as yet. ..and yes I know my...

But on the ICE exhaust noise I have to disagree. .. you and me both!!!.

The aircraft situation is one where hydrogen can work very well. Short duration, known distances , high energy requirements , would allow cryogenic storage and tanks. .. So the weight need not be a concern. Even the high altitude works in its favour.

My estimate of GPS is not faulty. Note its the differential type not absolute. So using fixed datum points that resolution is achievable... Easily Good enough for civil engineering infrastructure. Implanted guidance would be key.. but it also is low cost. Embedding lossy line guidance cables...

I don't want to get into a long discussion on this, but I don't think you are fully aware of the low cost of data transmission ,and the size of memory chips. To put just one fact out there... My GPS system of 15 years ago had a 2 GB memory, and had nearly all the navigable roads in Western...

This is not a conversation to which I have contributed, but I suspect that the wrong question is being asked. Rather it should be what modifications need to be made to roads to enable the safe movement of autonomous vehicles. For my part, I never bought into driving as a pleasure. Yes being...

I suspect the battery. As the battery wears, lumps of material in each cell become detached from the main block, and the device charges quicker, but with very limited capacity. When the terminal voltage reaches the plateau, the charger stops. The battery indicator is probably giving a more...

Of course the EU want UK tourism. It depends on what the terms are. While I hope we are in the end game of this epidemic, I am not really confident that CV21 is not just around the corner. The infection rates globally are not decreasing and the longer it goes on, with high infection rates...

Does the UK know that its Covid passports will have no validity in the EU?...or indeed anywhere outside the UK?.

The European Parliament has voted to ratify the EU's post-Brexit trade deal with Britain, but not without issuing bitter final warnings that trouble lies ahead in cross-Channel ties. The official result of the vote was not to be published until tomorrow morning, but the decision was not in...

It means that there is national shortage of Kit Kat bars!!!.

New figures from the UK Food and Drink Federation show that UK food exports to Ireland slumped by more than 70% in February after the UK's exit from the EU single market. The Food and Drink Federation said that overall UK exports were down more than a fifth in February, driven by a fall in sales...

You do know that the folk song about Mattie Groves , as sung by Joan Baez amongst others refers to shanigans at Barnard Castle?.

There is another reason, which feeds into Vfrs response. The length of the spoke. The hub motor is always larger than a standard hub, and the spokes shorter, hence less flexibility. A thinner but higher quality steel restores the flexibility.

Mairead is our local person.. Actually from the next town 15 miles away. She would have been the local MEP for a number of elections. . . I did warn a number of weeks ago, that bluff and bluster would no longer suffice. Her degree was in Agricultural economics and she has also been a very...

Is knocking the appropriate term?... I suspect it is.

Thank you .. arm feels as if I came off the bike at speed and landed on shoulder. But that will pass.

Now it seems that Pfizer are making up the shortfall

Jacket, pullover, shirt.. the sun was shining but with a NE Gale.. we are coastal. The wind would skin you alive today!!.
