    Heathrow v Gatwick v Stansted airport expansion

    I understand the point you make 'flecc' but unless we replicate the kind of facility you mention at an alternative venue, we will continue to hear calls for further Heathrow expansion in exactly the same way as has happened with the M25. As sure as night follows day, a third runway will bring...

    E-bike with torque, cadence and throttle...does it exist?

    Isn't that an arrestable offence? Tom

    HS2....Euston v St Pancras

    Let me see......mmm! Nope, I can't argue with any of that. Some people might think it's what the country needs or what the people want but you have nailed it in just a few lines 'd8veh'. Tom

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    Blimey D8ve, that could be an awful long wait! We'd have to talk about bikes or something then?:) Tom

    HS2....Euston v St Pancras

    If government really meant what has been said many times over many years about creating a northern powerhouse, then perhaps some airport expansion there would be more sensible than in the south. The opportunity to create a fast train route from the south coast to the eastern side of the country...

    Heathrow v Gatwick v Stansted airport expansion

    I'm bound to say I find this decision entirely perverse and wholly unnecessary. While it may be the case that air travel continues to increase and greater airport capacity is required, successive governments have demonstrated the same kind of forward planning in the sphere of air travel as...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    If our three 'Brexiteers' ever sit down around a table with EU representatives, I wonder how good their translation equipment is! That one word may only be the tip of the iceberg and it is not uncommon for meanings to be 'lost in translation'! Tom

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    Did you have an extra bowl of stupid this morning? There are several memorials around this country to the Polish airmen who flew against the Luftwaffe at the time of the Battle of Britain. I suggest you attend one of the ceremonies held each year and put your opinion across to those who...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    From memory, wasn't the 'invention' of tartan trews a direct result of the English conquerors imposing a ban on the wearing of the kilt? When I say, 'from memory', that is not to suggest I was actually present at the time.....perhaps I should have said, 'from my memory of school history'.;) Tom

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    That would be the 'folly' we didn't criticise in 1941 when they came to the rescue of this country and those on mainland Europe under German oppression? Curiously, the two main reasons why the German Nazi party failed to dominate the whole world in the 1940s was because of the ultimate power...
