I'm not sure what you mean by no change since last time, my access has certainly been changed since last year when i had no problem. They offer two other authentification routes, one seemingly for business and the other through the Post Office which is even more bonkers. To get into it...

I don't know for that specific bike, but stamped into the metal underneath the bottom bracket is a common location. The shallow stamped number can be obscured by hardened road dirt in that exposed spot, in which case try a stiff bristle brush and water to clear it. .

Just shows what a perverse lot we have in government, but then we knew that anyway. It's like getting access to one's online HMRC account now after the latest security changes. It's necessary to answer two questions from a choice of three subjects or be locked out. The subjects are: A...

Easily, privatise them. Charge undertakers a collection fee of £500, plus £200 a day cold storage charge. They can easily afford it from their fat profits and it will help finance the NHS. .

He might take a cue from Thatcher: "U turn if you want to, the man's not for turning". .

Agreed if they did that, but gov.uk addresses are typically longer, for examples: https://www.gov.uk/ government/organisations/driver-and-vehicle-licensing-agency https://www.gov.uk/ government/organisations/environment-agency They don't seem to like their obvious short URLs, like gov.uk/DVLA...

Easy to memorise as the vehicle drove past I suppose. Long URLs and email addresses are a problem of the modern internet. .

Thanks Nev, that's a very fair assessment of two second hand cars. As yet new e-cars still start at a disadvantage on purchase price due to the included battery and the fact that the makers generally very high spec them to help justify the price. On financial grounds I couldn't possibly have...

I think China is relying on the inherent self discipline of their people and that they've always worn masks for minor infections, so will adjust to conditions. I'm sure we'll see some mask wearing continue here as well while the infection rate continues to rise, particularly when shopping. .

I don't find it baffling, it's inevitable as i posted a few days ago. We cannot afford to carry on paying people not to work, paying businesses to stay closed and denying full education to the young, all to achieve such poor results. So now we are belatedly changing to Sweden's more...

But our UK politicians do not have the power to eradicate Covid, since their power doesn't extend worldwide, it barely extends nationally. .

Which they haven't entirely succeeded in doing, though their advantages of authoritarianism and an obedient population have brought them a high degree of national success. With far less advantages our politicians have been and are even less likely to eradicate Covid. I'm baffled by the...

Agreed, but our economic position means our living with it is at a different level from China, the cost of wrong earlier actions. .

It is when your blaming them indicates you think the UK politicians can eradicate Covid. They can't, they can try but ultimately it's everywhere else that dictates, which is why we must learn to live with it for a long time. To repeat, China has proved that living with it needn't be too...

China also unmasks: https://www.reuters.com/article/us-health-coronavirus-beijing-masks-idUSKBN25H0H8 .

Sorry, no, we can't approach this with the ostrich attitude. It is not possible to eliminate Covid worldwide for obvious reasons. So as I've said there is no elimination here when it will always return. The only answer is dealing with it by our individual decisons and actions, supplemented...

There is some truth in this, blame China. They have handled Covid-19 brilliantly, to the extent that researchers even in the Wuhan area where it originated had difficulty finding samples. If we cannot eliminate Covid in our advanced western countries, we certainly cannot eliminate Covid...

Turning up for their job is optional in parliament for MPs, Sinn Fein for example never physically took a seat that was won. The statement "We will have to learn to live with Covid" is incomplete. Here's the unsaid complete version: We will have to learn to live with Covid. We will have to...

Those symptoms commonly point to the battery failing, appearing to be ok with little or no load applied but the voltage collapsing as soon as the motor is put under load. If it has a handlebar meter you'll see the charge showing on that disappear as it cuts out, but then return when you stop...
