No mention of how much the USA and CIA spent meddling in other's politics? .

It's meaningless. Neither the Queen nor he personally own the land, nor can either have ever personally managed the land since they have no control over virtually all of it and all of the income from it goes directly into the treasury for our benefit. There is no way we can ever attempt to...

This is a new one, attend a funeral to get one's weekly shop:

. I think the wallet absorbs most of the shock. ;) .

Still tiny and not at all relevant, since I was clearly speaking of consumer items with huge price ranges giving plenty of room for price adjustments while remaining competitive. Like decent pedelecs from £1000 to £5000 or the sky's the limit !!! .

That's the sort of argument I take exception to, I'm not speaking of penny items. I've given an entirely valid working example with 25% added, showing that incremental pricing is not only possible but practical, given the immense range of product pricing in consumer goods. Remember my opening...

Precisely, knowing I'd be challenged I was ready with this form of answer. A good margin taken on a cheap but good item still leaves it a cheap but good item. If my blender had been £24.99 instead of £19.99, it would still have been very attractive against the other barmy prices I gave, so...

Buying from the EU We've heard a lot from companies in the EU saying it's not worth selling and sending lower value items to the UK now we've left the EU. However an experience I've just had casts lots of doubt on that. With a very old cheap and cheerful blender finally failing, I was in...

Hopefully this will stimulate other local authorities who've suffered these accidents and associated illegal uses to act similarly to discourage their adoption. Having said that I fear the government has already made it's mind up and suspect the trial has only been a sham, such is their...

Totally bonkers. How about some respect for the almost two-fifths who want to get rid of royalty? I see all the supermarkets are closing too on Monday, but Waitrose are saying their branches on the funeral procession route will be open to serve the crowds. More like respect for a profit from...

This country has gone stark raving mad , every damn thing is closing on Monday. Even Center Parks have told their holidaymakers that they have to leave by 10am and not return until 10am on Tuesday. Which will leave them stranded with nowhere to stay that night, far from home with their...

You could sit in the "car" and watch it charge, modern variant of watching paint dry. :D .

And long discontinued as a failure in the market. That 3.6kw PV system would work on the other French quadricycle, the Citroen Ami with 6kW battery, but would make no financial sense for a car substitute costing only 5000 € in France. (Though £8000 in rip off Britain) .

:D. Since when have they all had a social conscience for helping our government? They've all just spotted what they think is the next chance to earn big bucks, but this time they've all got it very wrong. Especially now interest rates are heading north for some while. .

In fairness there has been lots of subsidising going on for getting these installed, both from national and local government. In fact it's why the car purchase subsidies have been both reduced and removed, to redirect the money this way. What's most needed though is for the price per kWh of...

My agreement is with reservations, since I think most of the charging companies are going to come unstuck anyway. Half of all households in this not very large country can have a home fast charger and they are largely who will be buying e-cars for many years. With ranges of over 200 to 350...

Instavolt ultra rapid chargers are now at 66p per kWh, but with them no membership fee or deposit held, just contactless card. Of course these prices are not for the electricity, they are to pay for the installations and rentals during the current rapid expansion of charge point numbers...

Absolutely, the vehicle has far less time in the danger zone alongside a 12 mph bicycle. Much safer than a 30 mph car taking a long time passing a 25 mph+ cyclist. .

The laws were written by governments fiercely defensive of cycling and cyclists, and often anti-car. For example, The Netherlands where the government blocked the EU from imposing compulsory cycling helmets, and where 70% of the population cycle. That of course will include numerous civil...

The Aussies with their solar car challenge and the Europeans have been doing similar for years. Scroll down on this page to see more practical designs. .
