When you have nothing to barter with, what kind of deals can be achieved? At this moment, the UK has already lost most of its cards and the other side knows full well it holds all the trumps. We are now further away from achieving any kind of trade deals with any country than we were at the...

https://europa.eu/european-union/about-eu/agencies_en Having just read through the material on this link: index.jsp, I fail to understand the point you seek to make 'shemozzle999'. The agency, as is the case with other agencies, is as transparent about its structures, appointments and...

I looked at that model in my local Van Hague in England and it's solid as a rock. It weighs a ton though but that's only a problem once when it's being placed in situ. As for the Trimetal ones, that part you'd need to lift the bike over actually folds down on at least one of their models so...

There are lots and lots of cheap, wooden affairs described as bicycle sheds but very few offer anything approaching real security. Asgard and Trimetals produce metal alternatives which are considerably more secure. At the top end of the Trimetal range, this one is probably as good as it gets...

I hope all the selfish tory voters paid attention to what this senior High Court judge had to say about the government's policies which permit the appalling state of affairs in regard to vulnerable children and young people and the lack of secure placements for such individuals. This is a major...

I suppose as our Canadian chancellor is probably an expert on things economic and financial, it's not worth listening to anything he has to say on the 'Brexit' topic......didn't someone say we don't need any more experts? I suppose by now it's futile to imagine the 'Brexidiots' could be...

What a perfect fit that would be and probably very popular with the current staff as some may well be able to fill some of the positions in Ireland. If the 'Brexidiots' are intent on proceeding with this very public hara-kiri, that a country, whose people have been so badly treated through...

This article from 'The Spectator' encapsulates beautifully for me what was and remains the problem with the whole 'Brexit' nonsense: the-brexit-betrayal-bandwagon-is-growing Tom

If you like your comfort, the German brands, including Kalkhoff, as well as the major Dutch brands, provide comfort in spades. Nowadays, some of those Dutch EAPCs come with the Bosch motor in its various guises so things have moved on a bit in Holland where previously it seemed to be mainly the...

In the good old days before mobile phones and computers,when most of us sought our entertainment on the Light Programme, the Home Service or Radio Luxembourg, children, well most children, were always scolded for minor breaches of the rules in manners, etiquette or just plain decency. This old...

Hi 'ryano' and welcome to the forum. I was very sorry to read here some time ago about the passing of your dad. It had slipped my mind that he had got himself the R&M machine but I know he was very fond of the Bosch motor and I guess this particular model fulfilled all his requirements in an...

Those were t' days........ With apologies to those who find stereotyping people offensive or those who have had a humour by-pass operation. Please address any complaint to 'oldgroaner c/o pedelecs.co.uk' where it will be dealt with appropriately and expeditiously. Tom

Now, let's see.....Trump is one of these faces. I wonder which one! Tom

Not for the first time, I don't understand the point you make. Renewal of what? The best future option for the UK, an acronym that Trump doesn't understand as he seems to confuse it frequently with the expression 'Great Britain', is to continue our membership of the EU which has more to offer...

I think the tory propaganda department may have gone too far with this allegation...... Tom

The former pink tory PM, Tony B-liar, remains at large which has me wondering if the International Criminal Court is simply snowed under with work. There seems to be some weird double standard involved whereby some individuals from the Balkans war are hunted down and locked up for years...

The incomparable.......sorry, that should be incompetent......Theresa May is still occupying a property in central London, doing a very poor impression of a Prime Minister. Fortunately, we can all rest easy in our beds knowing that the little party - now rich, little party - over in Ireland...

Now that would seriously challenge my political principles! Tom

This fits neatly with my view of the tory party but it comes from someone who seems to share my opinion and is well-versed in utilising social media: young-conservatives-to-get-new-uniform-fit-for-brexit-britain Tom

That, indeed, is my understanding also. My difficulty though is, where are the demos to express their outrage? I expect far more in the way of direct action, particularly from the student population, to grab the attention of the government and its propaganda purveyors, the UK mainstream media...
