    as reckon VPN etc won't make much difference. Your browser(s) and plug-ins store enough thumbnails in the temp folder to act as breadcrumbs to what you have viewed not counting the system registry and hundreds of log files.

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    I have been watching the debate Nadine Dorries vs Lucy Powell. Both were quite good performers but I like Lucy Powell better. Dorries does a pretty good job at hinting at the future of the BBC being broken up, a small core of public broadcasting will be publicly funded, the consequence of this...

    Which UK couriers will ship a battery?

    you get a pretty good protection from credit card companies within the UK. It's only for foreign transactions that Paypal is particularly convenient. Since we left the SM and CU on 1/1/2021, I stopped exporting altogether so it has not bothered me much.

    Which UK couriers will ship a battery?

    I pay for ebay stuff with Paypal too, but as a seller, I stick to a high standard of customer service as matter of course any way.

    looks like operation 'red meat' is in full swing. They are all out attacking Starmer. Pop corn time.

    Which UK couriers will ship a battery?

    I too, stopped accepting paypal for two years now. It's all down to their change of T&Cs. Before, when an order is cancelled, I refund the customer and Paypal refunds me their fees minus 50p. So the cost of cancellation to me is 50p. Now, they don't refund their fees if I issue a refund. On a...

    fit the brake levers in that case.

    So then.... Whats the best conversion kit

    you have torque sensor in your Scott Eride 920 which gives instant power when you push off from standstill. If you are not a good pedaller and where you live is very hilly, get the TSDZ2 with throttle, you get to keep the good characteristic of the ride but when you are tired, the throttle turns...

    Which version did you buy? with or without throttle? brake sensors are only available with the throttle version of the TSDZ2. If you install the throttle then you should install the sensored brake levers, just in case the throttle gets jammed during operation.

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    High taxes don't help attracting top companies to move here and to be the best, we need to attract the best. On manufacturing, we have to choose our own specialism, may that be AI or pharma or jet engines or micro satellites. We can't be world beating at everything.

    I fear the reason that things are the way they are because of consumerism. We want so many different products that no single country can satisfy the demand of its own citizens, not even the USA or China, two biggest world producers.

    Taxation has to be progressive but also competitive and commensurate with the needs of the country. We live in a capitalistic world where people and capital (especially intellectual property) can move fluidly, high taxation is counter-productive,

    Hunt v Starmer is the best outcome for this country instead of continuation of this corrupt and chaotic government.

    I have never visited a bookies in my life but am a regular investor, so following the news is what I do every day. I am not telling you anything new, just the logical follow up consequences of these events. Did you watch Newswatch last Thursday? There are currently 20 letters handed in to the...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    Look at the 'save Boris' campaign. who among conservatives do you see rallying around your Boris? Most of BJ's ministers are doing just the opposite, distancing themselves from him. as for 'Boris the most electable tory', he is no longer it, I am afraid. Starmer is very acceptable for the PM...

    the polls in 2 weeks will be worse for BJ than the polls this week. If Sue Gray's report concludes that her boss has not broken any Covid rules, that will break public faith in the system. If her report concludes that her boss has, then pressure will increase on BJ to act before he's pushed, a...

    So then.... Whats the best conversion kit

    I would recommend the Tongsheng TSDZ2 48V 250W kit which is the nearest to what you currently ride (Scott Eride 920). The TSDZ2 has torque sensor, is smaller and lighter than the cadence sensored BBS01B.

    agreed. That's a fundamental issue with the new mRNA/DNA based vaccines. We don't talk much about the Chinese vaccine, CoronaVac, an inactivated vaccine. It may have suited you better.

    we'll have local council election in May. That will be a test for BJ, whether he's still an election asset for the conservatives. By then, people will be hit by rising prices and extra taxes. Most won't be happy with BJ. Any swing to Labour or Libdems, he'll be forced to resign, and that looks...
