You fall for it all, don't you, just as you have with Covid-19 and the "vaccines"? We certainly know the possible causes of cancers and the huge numbers of cancers they cause. What none of us know is what the risks are for any invidual or what actually caused most individual cancers. A...

Arrogant as ever with your first assumption. Actually it is well within the range of my knowledge and expertise, possibly predating yours, having used alpha emitters under Home Office licence for decades from early 1973 on. And I'm well aware of granite radon blackspots such as our own in...

All very well, but I hate it when everyone uses their local vote against the national government instead of local issues and Council performance. Especially when the outcome points to a hung parliament next GE with lots of votes going to the minority parties, Lib Dems, Greens, SNP, Plaid...

I've no idea, cancer has so many and varied causes but few caused by natural foods we eat, unless of course eaten to excess. I take all the information spread about radiation and cancer with a pinch of salt. There's a huge anti all forms of nuclear lobby very active in the world and those...

I was posting about food grown or reared in high radiation regions though. .

It's safe, it always has been. The rural people of Chernobyl returned almost immediately after evacuation, being fed up with enforced town life. They've lived there ever since, eating both plant and animal foods they produced on supposedly heavily irradiated lands, producing very healthy...

How come it incorporates the roses of Yorkshire and Lancashire combined? .

In that case the person concerned was a cyclist crossing a pedestrian crossing on an unpowered bicycle. So the question in law was, were they a cyclist or a pedestrian if on board or scooting with a foot on a pedal? The judge ruled they are a cyclist, stating that only when pushing the bike...

Sir George Stanley Waller PC OBE, judge in the Appeal Court in 1980: When he ruled this: "A rider either seated on a bike or with a foot on a pedal as in scooting is not a pedestrian" Case reference: Crank v Brooks [1980] RTR 441. .

Currently at least, e-scooters are motor vehicles, since they have no exemption in the type approval legislation. A suitable driving licence (group Q) is necessary Pedelecs are exempted, mainly because all propulsion, both rider effort and motor, is through pedalling, meaning they operate as...

No, see just above. .

Maybe not. The current rules, though widely ignored, are that one has to have a suitable driving licence since they are classed as motor vehicles. Accordingly a few have extensively modified personally owned ones them to suit and put theirs through type approval to get them registered and...

If only we could solve the problems of peacetime as easily as we solve those of war. .

Could hasten the possibility I mentioned, the end of naval surface ship warfare. Leaving future warfare as only a matter for missiles launched from land, aircraft and drones and from submarines. An age when enemies rarely see each other face to face until the last stage of war. .

I'm one of the huge numbers whose smart meters cannot work due to having no mobile phone signal, official statements of circa 99% coverage being total bunkum. Fortunately Bulb accept my readings fed online each month without any quibble. .

Same with Bulb which they've always had, plus a top up facility via DD or credit/bank card to deal with short term peaks. .

Very easy for you to say in your situation, but only a miniscule number can and do live in such conditions and such a way. Where I live is far more representative. A flat with vast areas of window glass losing heat, despite the gas filled double glazing. Electricity only for everything...

Drive a good fully electric car for any length of time in urban conditions, as I do, and then you'll understand. Yes, you can maintain a steady 20 mph in an i.c. car, but not with remotely the same ease, precision and enjoyment as with an electric car. That's why so few in 20 limit zones keep...

It's also possible to have "play streets" anywhere in the country. A Play Street is where a road is closed off to traffic for a few hours on a regular basis. This is so that children can have a safe space to play freely. Play Streets are organised, managed and run by local communities...

Giant and Stromer have used inexpensive torque sensors with hub motors, basically simple strain gauges, in both cases fitted into a modified rear dropout. Unusually the Giant Twist used their rear dropout sensor with a front hub motor, but it was praised for how well it worked. The version...
