    Brexit, for once some facts.

    I've kept out of this one until now. You are undoubtedly right on the facts you give Zlatan, but Russia would have beaten Germany on its own, albeit taking a little longer. There are several reasons for that: First population, Germany 70,000, USSR over 280,000, four times as many. Second...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    It's difficult to know what effect they are having. Since it seems to upset some that I've posted on how well my London borough of Croydon is doing on a very low vaccine rate, this morning I decided to pick on a different borough to the north of me, Lambeth. The area I chose at random, SW9...

    Electric Tour! charging stops needed....can you help?

    Yes, long ago. Lynda the co-founder went down with cancer during the first year which of course was also a huge setback. Also being an e-car owner I know what you mean. Could be worse if a group of e-bikers were using a multi socket strip and charging six e-bikes in the bay! However the...

    Electric Tour! charging stops needed....can you help?

    Two members back in 2012 started a scheme called Cyclecharge, basically recruiting pubs, cafes, restaurants etc into a network of places where e-bikers could charge while consuming. Some of us gave donations to help it succeed, but sadly it failed back then. It might have had a better chance...

    You seem to have ignored my quotation marks and the last sentence of my post, as well as all my previous posts on this definition. They are medications that alleviate the symptoms of Covid-19 if one catches it. As for getting better, that may well need a completely different design approach...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    Only to know the purpose of a vaccine, which is to prevent one contracting the disease in question. And on that the Covid vaccines fall down far too often. We've seen "new speak" being attempted since the "vaccines" became available, trying to convince us that alleviating the effects of...

    Indeed, I live in hope that it won't be too long now. COP26 might do the trick. It would be sad for us to go extinct after we'd wiped out all other higher life. .

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    I was quoting from when long ago I had a short experience of part of the route and someone I knew was a driver on the route. Looking it up the route now seems to have had both ends chopped off. Now it just runs the middle bit from Streatham Hill to Marble Arch. Originally the route ran...

    wear a helmet ,very lucky escape for myself .

    It's well recognised that the eye's iris reaction is slower with age, making it difficult to cope with the changing contrasts of light and dark, particularly with the very bright modern lighting. In my 80s my daytime sight is excellent but I suffer the same at night, so as a result I will not...
