    Prices of the electricity we use to charge

    That became inevitable when the government guaranteed EDF 19p per unit for HInckley Point electricity when it started, about triple price at the time, in order to get it built at all. That meant electricity users had to get used to a far larger amount than that in future to pay for...

    Private E-Scooters to become legal in Ireland from Monday

    REPORTED. An advertising plug for the brand and that not even spelled correctly, should be Werolle. This brand doesn't even have a popularity rating in Germany where many are listed as popular and the top brand is Xiaomi. .

    Hi from Spain

    Speed pedelecs are not allowed in Spain, only the usual 25 kph EPACs, so likely to be too slow to keep pace with semi-professional road bike riders, as you say. .

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    That was the truth. When the Russian assault began huge numbers fled West in a panic, but it turned out there was no need. When the Russians realised the assault on Kiev was going nowhere they turned to their real objective of capturing the Ukrainian access to the Azov and Black Seas, to...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    Most of Ukraine is nowhere near a front line. So long as one doesn't move into a large city with infrastructure to target, or within a couple of miles or so of a front line, life can be peaceful. I watched a TV documentary on rural life very near to Donbass and life was very normal, kids of...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    Of course, if they get those weapons, but they already need them now and far more ammunition. Far from Ukraine penetrating deeper into Russia, they have already lost 40% of what they gained in Kursk and will have lost all of it soon at the present rate. Putin and Russia will never attack a...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    Precisely, a war of attrition, Ukraine is now down to 33 millions in the territory it still possesses, Russia has 140 millions. That can only go one way in a war of attrition, hence Zelensky now desperate to end it quickly. If Ukraine has the advantage, how are they increasingly losing...

    Probably ok, the authorities often delay things they think might be illegally imported or not as described. The website now says estimated delivery 8th to 12th December. .

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    Looks like it's all over for Ukraine with Zelensky conceding he would stop fighting to recover territory in exchange for peace and then only rely on diplomatic negotiation to recover any of the lost territory. He has no other option now it's revealed that the Ukrainian army is suffering...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    At least they are used to this. They've had a long history of playing second string to Toyota in the market, with threats of failure. The weren't even Nissan originally, their original name was Datsun and they started by building the Austin Seven under licence in Japan in 1929. I ran an old...

    Skarper e-bike conversion kit now available in EU

    No, they worked quite well, we sold lots of them in the early 1950s. The original black ones, 25cc., the later grey hub shell, 32cc. Back then these tiny petrol assist motors in various makes far outsold our modern e-motors, within five years there were well over a million of them on British...

    Not really, they can be voted for as government members, Xi got right to the top of political activity using that method. And be replaced by more failure, all too often different for the sake of being different rather than better, or the same because they know no better. Our two party...

    Prices of the electricity we use to charge

    Xi Jingpin's slogan is World Wide Chinese democracy, with half the world, including Russia, following them. So we have a choice now. Eastern style democracy with voting for representatives in its single party, or Western style democracy with multiple parties to vote for. Both systems...

    There's a side story to this. Nissan anounced in 2020 their intention to make the Ariya SUV style car and said Leaf production would cease in 2021, even though it was still selling. But that never happened and the Leaf continued in manufacture and is still selling sub £30k while the Ariya...
