    Brexit, for once some facts.

    Oh yes he does! Remember how he went into hiding when Cameron resigned because he absolutely did not want to take over the mess at that point. Having made the mistake of coming back too early after Theresa May I doubt he'll make that mistake again, especially so soon after the scandals of...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    I don't think there's any hidden agenda, I doubt Johnson wants to get back too soon. I believe he would want whoever to go through the current hell for the remaining two years and then stage his return as a national saviour. Now is far too soon for that to work. In the interests of full...

    Mid drive watts vs human power

    The standard that Panasonic set many years ago was that on the normal power setting, the actual power into the transmission equalled the rider input, no losses. Theie higher power setting was specified as a ratio depending on model, such as 1.5 times or 2 times the rider input, Eco setting...

    Someone needs to, the present situation where so called caring professionals keep so many others alive through appalling suffering isn't acceptable. .

    Smart as well as compassionate, helping them to express their gratitude! Ideal cabinet minister material? ;) .

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    I'd like to have known the real truth about Shipman, I doubt we do yet given how the media hype all such stories with exaggeration and all the emotion surrounding the story. It appears he painlessly terminated elderly people who had prior medical conditions. Having witnessed close up the...

    Prices of the electricity we use to charge

    No, for these reasons: And end to the war still leaves the western world unable to trade with Putin while he is in office, so the gas and oil shortage continues. Because we are part of a Europe wide electricity grid sharing scheme, we also operate to pan European prices. To get Hinckley Point...

    Impulse battery charging fault

    These batteries have a sleep mode that protects them when not charged for a long time, so it may have gone into that mode. Normally connecting it to the charger wakes them up, but clearly that isn't happening, so try the capacity check next. To do that, hold down the battery level button, but...

    FLYER Speedpedelecs 2013/2014

    Het spijt me dat ik geen kennis heb van de snelle modellen, maar Panasonic had een beleid van reparatie door vervanging alleen op hun motorunits. Ze hebben nooit interne reserveonderdelen geleverd, dus die waren alleen beschikbaar door onderdelen van defecte eenheden te nemen. Translation of...

    1st Build With Reclaimed Batteries

    I'd say sensible journalism, probably using the report from the local 3FM independent radio station. The Isle of Man only has 84k population so to cover the UK themselves with that sort of ratio, the Beeb would need over 800 local reporters. .

    Having left royalty and if he values his image, he should do neither, staying aloof with no further comment. He might then start to regain some respect. .

    Bike on Fire!

    As ever such data is misleading and near to useless: It says most vehicles are almost always completely destroyed by fire, yet only reports 93 of the 507 in London in the last five years were seriously damaged. How can that be? Well the answer is simple, they are including a complex mix of...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    Odd, that's the Greek side of the island. I'd have expected it in Turkish Northern Cyprus, given Erdogan's friendship with Putin. Seems anywhere with territorial disputes can give rise to odd outcomes. .

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    This morning I got my 18th email from them ! Seems they are getting desperate, perhaps not surprising now there are so many of these easy to use car buying operations. .

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    Shows there's some hope yet for the public in general, who seem to be finally coming to their senses. Not the coterie of Boris fans though, deluded enough to think he could lead the party to victory at the next GE. Since Partygate and the chaos of 3 PMs and policies in quick succession, all...

    Prices of the electricity we use to charge

    It will never be followed since it's complex shambles of a plan. It tells consumers nothing since we won't know the demand level on which the rota operates. The plan we operated during the Arab oil crisis of the 1970s was simple, far better and easily understood, so I think if the cuts do...

    Prices of the electricity we use to charge

    So very true, and why they suffer from recessions. If only they saved in the good times instead of blowing everything away as it arrives, they wouldn't even know a recession had occurred. It sounds ridiculous, but I actually remember that ! :) It was wartime, remote in the countryside...

    Prices of the electricity we use to charge

    Pessimistically, sure. But an optimist might say the haves and the have even more. Compared with the lives of our grandparents (or even parents in some cases) that is certainly true. .

    Prices of the electricity we use to charge

    Well it is said variety is the spice of life ! Maybe we won't need the sailboats. To limit travel we could all be living in that newly warmed, fertile north where all the food is grown. To pack us all in we'd need to be in 200 to 300 storey tower blocks with solar powered lifts, or maybe with...
