    TONIGHT 9pm: - E-Bikes: The Battle for Our Streets - Panorama

    I've lost count of how many times I've told you that it is not a power certification, nor ever intended to be, so why do you persist in this misinformation? As I and a few others have explained, it is a designer rating to cope with the widely varying needs of equally widely variable EAPCs. The...

    You are very clearly wrong but stubbornly refusing to accept that. The formation of dendrites and the way they cause fires is long established and absolutely not theoretical, as is the cause being insufficient care in cell construction. It's very difficult to completely eliminate them but as...

    TONIGHT 9pm: - E-Bikes: The Battle for Our Streets - Panorama

    From the invention of the bicycle for some 140 years to the 1970s we usually cycled at no more than 10 mph, often less. In the 1940s and '50s when we all cycled in poor post war Britain, the roads were packed with 10 mph bicycles with only the rare appearance of a car. But then as we became...

    Indeed, for centuries the Catholic Church routinely castrated young choirboys to retain their falsetto singing voice. One might think they would today wish the young to have the maximum protection, yet the Vatican has the lowest age of consent for sex in the EU, at 12 years old. .

    We can't, we cannot even restrict their use enough, simply because we have constructed a country in which the car is essential to so many. Before you deny that, read the below: Over seventy years ago when we managed to live to our sixties or seventy if lucky, I had a corner shop a few yards...

    You are right that it is a manufacturing fault causing the fires, the faults being in the cell electrolyte, but it is you who is not getting it. It has long been established beyond question that slight imperfections in cell manufacture lead to the formation of metalic lithium crystals with...

    TONIGHT 9pm: - E-Bikes: The Battle for Our Streets - Panorama

    The fact that you persist in referring to ebike and e-mountain bike shows that that you, like almost all in this forum, simply do not understand the relevant legality or its purpose. Here once again for the umpteenth time is the correct position: 1) All e-bikes are motor vehicles which have...

    They're all North of me! Seriously though you are not being very bright. From the beginning, when it was predominantly Northern offence, we all knew, wherever we are in the country, what was going of because it was impossible to hide such a horrible subject and so many offences. Likewise...

    It isn't happening here in London simply because our very much better racial integration makes it impossible to flourish in the way it has in the North in particular. Here it would be too glaringly obvious within the well integrated community. Of course you won't accept that and will prefer to...

    He was wrong of course due to being a product of his time, just as those who say socialism cannot work are wrong. Essentially democracy and socialism are the same thing, both dependant on a people with a genuine belief in society and our responsibilities to it. In Britain far too few do so...

    Agreed, and I am just one good example, despite a healthy life style. I was on the verge of dying 18 years ago, and finding it entirely acceptable at just over 70 years of age. Dying then from my inherited heart problem would have been an advantage for me in many ways over the remaining years...

    Last private one I flew in across London was in 1976, a Bell 47G-3. That had a Lycoming horizontally-opposed, six cylinder, air-cooled piston engine, so not jet fuel. We had some fun though, pulling stunts over the Thames and N/W Surrey. .

    Agreed, see below. Neither, but their objective is ending universal car ownership, the allowance of which has long been seen as a huge and very costly mistake. Once this is fully understood, the reason for the rest of the political EV policies becomes clear. None of this, the prices are...

    That was the least of their reasons and based on the anticipated change to EVs. That demand picture is very different now and the EU-Japanese trade agreement and bulk car transporters have radically changed where car manufacturing takes place now. Ultimately Nissan have been backing the...

    Your replies in this subject are about Nissan, who are failing and will have no say. Honda are a very different company and succeeding, and it's been made clear that they will be running the consortium if the merger goes ahead. In 2021 they made their decision regarding manufacture in Britain...
