This piece is from the Bullshine Broadcasting company's news web page today and is the first I have read of it, no longer in receipt of any London local news rag. It will be interesting to see whether or not the police are able to mount a successful prosecution but I would expect there must be...

Exactly! It has taken a long time but some manufacturers seem to be finding ways to reduce bike weight. Not so many people ride around these days on 30Kg machines that are too heavy for most vehicle bike rack applications so progress is being made, albeit slow. Tom

I'm afraid this is a really silly thread as the whole raison d'être of EAPCs seems to be lost on some contributors. Tom

This forum is a poorer place in the absence of Cyclezee (and other brands), seller at Milton Keynes. His knowledge and experience in the EPAC market was second to none and his contributions to this forum were very helpful. Those members who populated this forum nine or ten years ago will...

Will he receive the normal accolade of an honour regardless? Obviously, as a former PM, it would need to be a Knighthood but will Mrs May or his former close allies be happy to recommend him for such a distinction? Tom

After thinking about the 'which is best?' question again and having all three main modes, F-hub, R-hub and a crank-drive, I can't answer the question easily. All my bikes are legally compliant and each does a fine job though in slightly different ways. Conceptually, my favourite is the...

I seem to have read very recently that the Australian government has been in talks over a more comprehensive trade agreement with the EU and will not countenance any discussions with the UK until the EU deal is resolved. If that is the case, I fail to see how we can achieve any more...

Ok, I've had a thought about the possibility of some kind of mutual trade agreement with Australia but I'm stuck on this: Exactly what would be importing from Australia after shipping it half-way round the world? I can imagine that there might be one or two things the Aussies might wish to...

Joseph Goebbels would be immensely proud that his strategies are still being used today by a fascist government. This was his take on what we are now witnessing: “If you tell a lie big enough and keep repeating it, people will eventually come to believe it. The lie can be maintained only for...

Mum born in Belfast - that might be useful one day. Tom

Absolutely! Tom

That would be the same US government which believes it should be exempt from parking tickets and charge zone fines in central London!.......unless they have recently decided to pay up? Tom

Mrs May rushed to accept a poisoned chalice because she imagines herself emulating the great heroine of tory politicians, Thatcher the milk snatcher. I suspect her friends at tory central office will desert her the moment tory fortunes begin to look less optimistic and I think that process may...

There's a slight problem in as much as the 'stuff' we buy from Europe is actually largely produce that we really need. Those unaffected by currency fluctuations or any other inflationary downside will still replace their large German automobiles regardless. For most people, I fail to see...

Very apt, OG! I'm sure the Scots Bard wouldn't mind one bit at your usage of his written words. He seemed to have a nice turn of phrase and a great understanding of politics in the 18th century although I'm not sure many people had ever heard of politics back then. I know the piece was...

Very.........but they do believe! Tom

The ultra-right media is using it's influence in an attempt to calm the fears and growing impatience of the 'Brexit' camp. Put another way, they are lying, bending statistics and part-truths in the way that fascist propagandists have always done. They get away with it because it's what the...

Truth or parody? I'm not sure. If the Europeans were to decide to exclude the UK from all forms of European sporting competitions, that would create more than a few little ripples among the 'Brexit' supporters......and what if they banned us from the song contest? Oh, hang on....! Tom

Is this a sign of things to come? http://www.golfcentraldaily.com/2016/08/security-fears-after-pro-europe-brexit.html Tom

You really couldn't make this up! I wonder if the lawyers are the same ones whose advice gave Tony B-liar his authority to ignore the UN and go to war unilaterally. Tom
