    Brexit, for once some facts.

    I think it's reasonable to assume that is possible and perhaps even likely. A number of symptoms are common to both illnesses, so where a vaccination relieves the common symptoms, there will be some benefits from either vaccination. .

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    It was a good result, Italy have been remarkable thoughout this competition and before, 34 wins in a row in international competition is special by any standards. Being born English I would have liked us to win, but also being half Italian, I'm happy anyway, a winner either way. .

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    I can and I did disagree because they are untruths. I'm not discounting or in any way critical of the achievements of travel beyond earth, they've all been amazing, but that doesn't mean they can be celebrated with untruths. For example, and astronaut is literally a star traveller, i.e...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    Indeed, it's just sub orbital flight. One chump on radio even said he will become an astronaut with this flight. Getting a few things straight, there are no astronauts since that term refers to stars and no-one has flown to a star. Nor Cosmonauts since that infers travel across the universe...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    Already happening. In very early 2020 there was an application to build a big new crematorium and chapel with extensive car parking and a memorial garden in a very large field by the edge of our nature reserve. It was fiercely opposed by many local residents but for certain reasons, I and...

    No, as I clarified later, I meant permanently increasing borrowing in real terms. That is ultimately impossible as explained. .

    Can I make bike UK legal

    There's also this link to a thread in which I've explained the whole of the law relating to electric assist bicycles: https://www.pedelecs.co.uk/forum/threads/pedelec-law-the-details.37594/post-558483 Worth a read so you see the whole picture. .

    Can I make bike UK legal

    They don't have to be registered Robert, but do technically need single vehicle approval. However, this was only ever done on one pedelec to my knowledge at the only inspection site that would do it, at Southampton. Before and since then many ride around with a twist throttle and nobody looks...

    Can I make bike UK legal

    Is it 250 watt rated Robert, it doesn't sound like it with climbing at 15 mph? Also was it second hand, made before 2016? To be road legal its motor needs to be no more than 250 watt rated. Power should cut off at or before 15.5 mph. If those are both ok, you don't need to get it certified...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    Not if we've got any sense. I meant rising borrowing. The higher it goes, the higher the interest rate climbs as our credit rating falls. We're paying 2.69% on approaching two trillion now, 48 billions a year, 8% of all the government's tax income. These cannot go up indefinitely. I...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    There's always someone if the price is right, we just need to get more money coming in and less going out. Covid or no Covid, we cannot live permanently on borrowing. .

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    Seems like as good idea, we've virtually decriminalised most other crimes. The police clear up rate across all crimes is 8%, meaning that 92% of all crime goes unpunished. Furthermore much of the crime that does get cleared up is effectively crime they've invented. For one example, sex...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    Why are they doing it? It's the needs of the economy. They can no longer afford to pay people not to work. They've had to stop the Universal Credit boost they applied for the pandemic. They have to get productivity back up to full tilt. So they need to convince people that going back to...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    I've said from the beginning that I won't have anything to do with test and trace in any way whatsoever. It's blindingly obvious that this government is incapable of organising anything well and neither of the two tests available is in any way reliable. My approach is protection all the time...

    Having a front hub motor and a rear hub motor on the same bike ?

    Not so, the use of the singular has no meaning in this context, it is not limiting law. There are precedents, for example both versions of SRAM's Sparc e-bike motor have two motors. The only thing that matters is the 250 watt legal rating of the cycle, which should be stated as part of the...

    Post Office launch "Save Our Cash" day To stop the cashless society from going too far. I totally agree with this, we are increasingly in danger of being unable to access any of our own money without being charged to get it. And there are so many things we cannot do without cash. We can't...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    As posted, our fire brigades have never dealt with an e-car traction battery fire, so they know absolutely nothing about them other than what they've read. So they are certainly not experts in that field, not even beginners. Even the US Department of Transport with their knowledge of the Tesla...

    . No. You can have as many motors as you like, but their total rating cannot exceed 250 watts. .

    Such chances are very often missed, so you cannot assume that. Or maybe not. Players learned long ago that taking a dive after any brief contact can pay off, and Harry Kane is no angel in this respect as I've often seen. It was very far from a decisive outcome and I'd rather have seen it go...
