    Brexit, for once some facts.

    It's called balance, both sides of the story. The price of that fairness is that it doesn't suit anyone with a bias, which is most people. Strongly disagree, see above. Here in London at least, they are the ordinary people, barely over 40% are white British born and even they are often of...

    In the railway world SPAD means Signal Passed At Danger. Curiously apposite. .

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    Totally agree, I've often thought parents who drive their kids into doing what they were unable to achieve themselves is child cruelty. In this connection I always think of Christopher Mottram. Pushed into tennis by his parents Tony Mottram and Joy Gannon who were both leading British tennis...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    I've never had such fears, always regarding life as a curse more than a benefit, the sooner over, the better. You may have seen me mention before that my philosophy on life and death was sorted 65 years ago, since when I've always had this to say on them: "I'm ready to die anytime, even before...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    Agreed, but I've had the selfish option, seeing and enjoying the best of kids all around but with little of the responsibilities and costs. Those other peoples kids from long ago are out at work now, even paying my pension. Decades ago in a home just in front of my lounge I saw young M...

    He was right of course: They **** you up, your mum and dad. They may not mean to, but they do. They fill you with the faults they had And add some extra, just for you. But they were ****** up in their turn By fools in old-style hats and coats, Who half the time were...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    But he's right of course, as with all of us it's his parents fault. They brought us into the world and brought us up to be what we are. And all the rest of society are complicit in that. Why should we take the blame for what they've done? Like Boris, we are all deserving of the utmost...

    But we do need to be world beating with a larger range of products than at present It's ok for the 6 million Danes to sell lots of bacon, pork, and a bit of HiFi, the 10 million Swedes to sell IKEA worldwide and Volvo vehicles, even the 17 million Dutch sell a far wider wide of manufactured...

    Thanks Danidl, but I've no need for aspirin and it wouldn't help in this case anyway. I only know of the stomach problem from long ago when aspirin was the most common pain killer, there's abundant alternatives now of course. .

    Help! Panasonic

    I doubt you have any chance. Panasonic has a repair by replacement policy with e-bike motors, not supplying any spares. I don't know if both your motors are that 2016 vintage, but about the only European maker using Panasonic crank motors by then were the Swiss Bike Tech company for their...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    Agreed, I think they might be wary of a third Tory female PM after the legacies of Margaret Thatcher and TheresaMay. It's still a party wholely run by men. A steadying non-controversial hand would be better if they have any sense. .

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    I can't take aspirin, like many I'm allergic to it since it causes stomach damage and pain. Anyway it couldn't help since my heart is physically damaged and for several years it's taken very little to tip me over into attacks. I just have to live a carefully balanced life to avoid them...

    Mischievous thoughts on battery prices

    Idly looking at the new Leica M11 camera, £7500 for the camera body alone, I noticed the 13.32 Wh little battery costs £142, prompting these thoughts. If priced like that camera battery on battery capacity, the standard Bosch battery would cost £4,264. If priced like that camera battery on...
