You thought it funny Oyster, but in Norway where cyclists struggle through snow as we've seen in the photos from e-bikers there, a few miles of completely dry, snow free roads would be an attraction. Especially since it would cut out the large climb between the two end points making cycling...

Be even better if they have the imagination to include a cycle path alongside, rather like a canal towpath. .

If you can turn the pedals forward without the rear wheel turning, it's the 7 speed Shimano freewheel on the side of your motor that has failed. If Wheelie Pete's solution doesn't work it will need to be replaced. For that you need a cycle shop thats used to hub motor electric bikes since the...

Plus the worst crime of all, Saudi Arabia blocking supplies of humanitarian food to children starving to death, due to their involvement (with the West) in the Yemen civil war. They fear that feeding the children is helping the other side. Who is the other side? Iran, a proxy for the...

But very often they aren't really unemployed or have no income, just not in a normal job. Who do you think are committing the over 6 million known crimes a year in the UK? They don't commit themselves, it's a large industry. Somebody has to locate premises, set up the infrastructure and grow...

Even more so today. Sadly one of the rare good ones, James Brokenshire, has just died of lung cancer at the very early age of 53. A very decent unassuming man and good MP for his constituency, he was a very effective Northern Ireland Secretary respected by both sides of the community there in...

For those still healthy and young enough, good advice, but for those like myself now too old and no longer fit enough, we're stuck with this mess. Especially galling after fighting hard against this present governing crowd and the idiocy of Brexit. .

I believe we are going to sink a very long way, regardless of who gets in next or when. Brexit was as so many of us warned, an extremely stupid move, doomed to bring failure since Britain had already proven to be a failure since circa 1950. Not that staying within the EU was a solution to our...

More EV News Epic Zero Carbon World road trip demonstrates battery longevity Last weekend, members and supporters of Zero Carbon World, a charity promoting decarbonisation projects, drove an original 11-year-old Tesla Roadster from Land’s End to John O’Groats in order to demonstrate the...

EV News September 2021 will be remembered as a turning point for electric vehicles (EVs), a crucial month for sales of any vehicle. September was the biggest ever month for EV sales with more than 32,000 new battery electric vehicles (BEVs) hitting the road! And there were 13,000 Plug in...

Find an adoption agency quick! .

I agree, but would higher interest rates wean them off credit? They happily use credit and store cards with up to 30% or more APR. They take short term loans at 100% APR or more. The only things that are obvious is that they neither think nor plan. .

Property prices will have to crash. In round figures: Average annual income in 1967, £1500. The average income just pre Covid, £30,000, so multiplied 20 times. I bought my home in 1967 for £4,150 Now valued for sale at £230,000, so multiplied 55 times, nearly 3 times what it should be...

Well it's turned out the fear was very much to be feared. What else might one expect with Brexit being a Boris Johnson policy, carried through later by Boris Johnson and now Boris Johnson as PM tryimg to make it work. That's no chance three times over. .

Thanks, I tended to think of that as everything rather then everyone, since there are times when I do hate everything. .

And there's also Miseveryone, but we dont seem to have a proper term for that. :( .

I've absolutely no desire to mess up this planet any more with the emissions of silly space tourism. .

As Zlatan says the South East has suffered more, it always does with fuel supply difficulties. We don't have many refineries down here, and that also leads to us having higher prices per litre due to higher fuel delivery costs. .

Went to supermarket again ths morning and risked going the way with the three fuel stations. Mistake. Ist and 2nd no problem. 3rd had a queue in the other direction over two miles long, containing trapped buses and refuse trucks since it's a narrow road with continuous traffic in the opposite...

Indeed, same with me for several years, but I've managed to stop it happening since the start of this year and also got rid of the tachycardia attacks and wild swings in blood pressure. The prevention is very limiting though. .
