There is no need for that, I'm just trying to help. So when did you contact the BHF and what exactly was their response? If you let me have the name of your contact at BHF and their role title, I'll write to them.

It's quite likely that this is all down to some overly zealous health and safety shitmuncher. A person given infinitely more power and influence that their intelligence warrants. They are everywhere at the moment and numbers seem to be increasing. This needs someone, like a large importer of a...

I thought that a legal ebike was looked upon as a bicycle, subjected to exactly the same rules and regulations as an unpowered machine. So, if BHF are banning legal ebikes, aren't they effectively banning all bicycles from their cycling event? As I understand matters, nowhere in UK legislation...

I took part in a 10 Kilometer run which was organised by The Briitish Heart Foundation last year. As we crossed the finish line we were presented with a beef burger in a bun. It's hard to say what is behind this ebike ban. It could be one of two extremes, one being extreme ignorance the other...

I don't want to get into a dispute over someone else's dispute, but he did say that. He initially made some pretty strong comments supporting heavier handed moderation and followed that up by saying that until something changes, he wouldn't be on the forum. However, I still don't know what...

Im afraid that if he wants to leave, he should just go. It's not right to make a veiled ransome demand for more moderating on the pages. Personally, I hope that he doesn't leave because his contributions are an asset to the forum and he has clearly helped a lot of people. We have had our...

But, unfortunately in the example of illegal bike use, this subject will continue to crop up as people discuss kits and S Pedelecs which they either have or are considering purchasing. People will continue to make their opinion know (pro or against), and that in my view is fair and proper.

I think emotions run high because people perceive that those who use illegal bikes will ultimately cause problems for those who don't. The illegal users tend not to understand this and think that the legal guys are being self righteous and trying to spoil their enjoyment. The legal bike users...

We've got all of the above and don't need any further regulation. Do we really need a rule to say don't offend each other? What constitutes an insult or offence anyway? Who decides? As we have seen, there are people on this forum who have expressed a potential to become offended by pixels...

I think we have this with HelenJ and Russ who currently moderate the forum. They step in only when necessary, usually if something is posted which could leave them exposed to legal action, is obscene or is downright nasty. Hence, we hardly see them and the forum ticks over quite nicely. There...

\ Not the whole story trex. Boris didn't say that the EU wants to invade other countries, shoot anyone who resists, build concentration camps and send people there to perish. The comparison that he drew was a single element, the expansionist plans which Hitler had for Germany compared to the...

Really Dave? Is this what mankind has come to? Offended by a sad electronic face or downward facing thumb?

I think members becoming Moderators is a bad move, especially appointing those who seek to become moderators. Censorship of anything that they personally disagree with is certain to creep in. The two site owners tend to act if things cross a line. I really don't know what the fuss is all about...

I have just noticed that the Like facility has been expanded to include a few other emotions. When did that happen? Emoji Wars could bring a new dimension to the forum. Now to head over to the Leaving the EU forum and put them to use.

Really sorry to hear this news. He added to the range of characters who frequent this forum. I've liked Hugh's post. Not because I'm pleased at the news, more that I liked EddieO's presence on here. PS. Forgot to mention the thing I liked most about Eddie. He had there rare ability to move on...

But ebikes (just an example product) don't seem to fall in price when the pound strengthens. I think the price settles at a point where goods sell. For example, if a bike costing £2000 today suddenly cost £3000 because of Brexit, they wouldn't sell any so the price would fall back to a point...

UKIP still have a very strong and justifiable case to be involved in this though. The pro EU side certainly have their hand on the stop-cock when it comes to allowing the flow of information to the public. They certainly are quick to close it when it doesn't suit their agenda. Again, if the EU...

I don't think there is the remotest chance of Farage being included in any debate. He is an excellent speaker and performs well in debates. He also has the truth on his side which makes him a very dangerous proposition to the remain camp. If he debates against Cameron, he will destroy him. UKIP...

I read that the BBC is to exclude the British party with the largest representation within the EU parliament, the third biggest party in British politics and the party which forced a referendum on EU membership from their Wembley debate on EU membership. This of course is UKIP. Isn't this the...
