Maybe where you are.

I'm just waiting for Judge Dreddie to come along. "I AM THE LOW!"

I saw just that, two years ago, on another place I frequent. A bloke in Finland put a hub motor in the front wheel, no problem. He uses a backpack battery for a range of 30km, iirc. I thought at the time it would be an excellent way of avoiding falling off, thinking back to kick scooters of my...

Ach, that's the usual knee-jerk boll ocks from a bunch of jerkoffs.

I have a couple of sets of Eneloops for my more important things, but the rest of the kit gets those Vapex or Aldidl specials, which have proven ok so far.

Just looking at his prices for Eneloops and he's having a laugh. Much better here... Instant

Congratulations.

Almost that thing was on Stephen Fry's Gadget Show - the only episode I bothered watching.

Don't waste your time with the naked XT60s, get them with tails already on, from HK. It makes a huge difference to the ease of use.

I drove for a living for many years and made a point of avoiding the roads at the weekends (although sometimes I didn't have that luxury) because it was glaringly obvious the general standard of driving plummeted dramatically from weekday users to weekender muppets.

Yes, I know what primary and secondary cells are, thank you. My point was and is that the sh it we could buy back then stands comparison with what has been available for a few years now for the same applications and people using them and comes off very poorly indeed.

Something like half a billion dollars of taxation income expected from the legalisation of weed in Washington State. Meanwhile, the Feds are all grumpy about it.

It's the same around here - in the main, the ass holes drive Dublin registered vehicles.

That's the whole point of measurement - if the makers are lying, we need to know how much by. Using the numbers as a guide is what it's supposed to be about, but that's totally undermined by unscrupulous marketing weasels, who wouldn't know a lumen if it bit them on the bum. If I might add -...

Jeez, for a moment I thought we were in some Teutonic state, with all the calls for extra rules and regulations and the desire to control-freak everybody. If you like Square-headedness so much, go off and live there and leave us Anglo-Saxons/Celts to our own peculiar muddle-through way of doing...

Thanks for that pointer - I've just loaded MapDroyd so will see how it goes. I keep my data connection hard set to the off position so no rogue downloads, hopefully.

Still seems to be the case with recent li-ion batteries I've bought. At least, the ones where the makers actually give a stuff about how their item is treated (and possibly to forestall warranty claims).

I'm not comparing chalk with cheese at all. I'm comparing what was available then to what is now and that's all finest cheddar, innit?

None of the above. Just bloody well leave it alone and accept the risk. Life is a bitch and you die - simple.
