Simples really! - Can't understand what all the fuss has been about. Tom

Although I don't do any rock-hopping/mudplugging on my bikes, I have always accepted that there needs to be a compromise in order to achieve a balance between grip, longevity and puncture resistance. As others have suggested, the MP range is very good and the 'Tour' model I use seems to satisfy...

I use Travelex mostly these days and their rate this morning was just under 1.14€ to the £ - a long way short of the €1.48 when I first used them in 2002. Tom

There's many a true word spoken in jest! Tom

Did you look that one up Trex....or were you around when he said it?;) In the next 30 minutes, I shall be converting some Sterling into Euros in order to pay a large inheritance tax bill along with associated legal costs and various other issues. I dread to think what the rate will be! Tom

Thatcher's bacon was saved by starting a war with Argentina, otherwise she and her party would not have survived an election. In the case of May, she could really do with a new mandate from the people to clarify the way ahead. A war against a very weak nation would be ideal for her right now...

Ditto here! I still have the scars but only my barber sees them. Tom

I'm sure these do a good job but mending a puncture isn't exactly difficult, annoying yes, but so what if it rains? You'll probably get just as wet fitting the fancy, new tube as you would sticking a patch on the old tube or replacing it with a new one. Schwalbe MPs are about the best...

That's similar to my position on the matter except in my case, the word 'most' is substituted by 'some'. Tom

Not the public OG; it's the 'Brexit' fan club which, increasingly, resembles the Flat Earth Society. Perhaps when the Japanese carmakers review their European market situation and decide to copy the strategic decision made recently by the Chinese owners of the MG brand at the Longbridge...

Rarely has the British public been so conned as on the 'Brexit' premise and the hype surrounding it provided by right-wing extremists of little political talent. They never had any evidence or facts to support their claims pre-referendum which are now widely recognised as being blatant lies and...

I'm afraid I have to take issue with your analysis Trex. Those in the Labour Party who are anti-Jeremy Corbyn are for the greatest part, the Blairite faction, aka pink tories, along with a secondary bunch of career politicians operating under a false flag. The Labour Party proper, as...

Here is a matter which, although something of an aside to the topic of this thread, nevertheless has some relevance as it concerns one, Boris Johnson, who is successor to Mrs May as foreign secretary. Johnson, not noted for any parliamentary debating skills or indeed, anything else, is one of...

I believe that pretty-well describes it Trex! Tom

I just noticed that Cytronex have begun advertising their long-awaited kit and I'm not sure what to make of it. It seems like a very neat piece of work with a rather gimmicky phone app to run the system options but apart from the fact that they have finally moved over to lithium and provide...

Ah yeah...but! Nail bars and tattoo parlours are still doing ok! What's your problem? Tom:D

I think you are all wrong and if you don't believe me, just ask Douglas Carswell! Tom

Ditto that Flecc. I think it may have something to do with an ingrained respect for other road users and pedestrians developed in childhood as so many cycle regularly in that country and from an early age. Long may that continue! Tom

Yes Flecc, there is a certain Karma there!:) Tom

It has always rankled with me that Londoners actually voted for this buffoon to be Mayor. There have been many great, dedicated men and women who were better choices to represent and advertise our capital city but not all wanted such a job, indeed it is a questionable office anyway and I think...
