    Brexit, for once some facts.

    I think that is highly unlikely, the personal service counter screens were simply face separators, not in any way impeding access or egress. Since they also had a large sign in the entrance saying customers don't need to mask any more and had got rid of the extensive hand cleansing station and...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    I doubt we need worry about this. The systems simply don't work remotely well enough to cope with British urban areas where 86% of the population live. So every journey for most starts manually and will continue that way until reaching roads with fully lined lanes, motorway style, But...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    Seems business is no better. I've just got back from my Sainsburys superstore. All of the customers were masked but none of the staff were. What is worse though is that they've removed all of the perspex separators around and between the self checkouts, leaving us shoulder to shoulder again...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    Well I appreciate that attitude at almost half way through the eighties, when there's plenty else that can kill me now. Covid which I haven't even got yet is the least of my health concerns. .

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    Johnson's view on this is similar to mine and one of the reasons I say Covid has been grossly exaggerated. It isn't the major killer that's been portrayed, most of those dying have only done so because they were in the age zone of life being no longer viable, and/or with other underlying...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    No this thread isn't wobbling, it's just taking a breather after the five year point to get ready for the next five years. It will still be here when we rejoin the EU, arguing about whether that's a good thing. .

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    I'm a patient chap, so I'm happy to wait until we see the results. I'm betting Ferguson is wrong, but I wouldn't bet against your 60,000 before September. Sweden will be ok though. :p .

    Throttles - eScooters v eBikes

    Both Neil and I did in the second and third replies. You seem to have missed the point that 250LPM also needs SVA. So the poster was given both options. .

    I believe it will level and come down shortly after the current rise. I disagree with the gloomy forecasts. .

    Throttles - eScooters v eBikes

    It's a class exclusive to Great Britain, not legal in the rest of Europe. It was created by the DfT to satisfy those who wanted a fully acting throttle on their pedelec. They have to be taken through SVA, cost £55, and then can be used legally here as an ordinary pedelec with no other...

    Throttles - eScooters v eBikes

    Any present pedelec strong enough to take the extra weight with a much bigger battery and equipped with hydraulic brakes would be fine, but there are problems. One is that a geared hub or crank motor is needed but nylon gears wouldn't be up to the job as Heinzmann showed long ago. But steel...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    That wouldn't surprise me, I remember how you suffered that last year when England loosened the reins but Wales was still under lockdown. .

    Throttles - eScooters v eBikes

    True, but for someone who only rides on roads, flattening the hills with four times the power rating and a throttle could be very appealing! Great for towing a trailer too. .

    That would make a change from having Kings and Queens. ;) .

    Throttles - eScooters v eBikes

    Yes, very likely until a manufacturer starts marketing one with the DVLA listing it. Now they don't need a driving licence and have zero VED (road tax), I can't see how they couldn't become popular. .

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    Well it looks like the government has got it's way. With lots of people here working from home the hill outside has been cluttered with cars all the time. But this morning there's space everywhere, it looks like they've all gone back to work in their workplaces. .

    Same irrelevancies again. Since you cannot understand that and keep coming back with the same dumb answer, discussion closed. .

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    All totally irrelevant to the issue I was discussing, that Swedens voluntary model did far better than our enforced one, both European countries with far more similarities than differences. And you are arguing against yourself, Japan and NZ show that population density is not a factor, both...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    Within a very short time of the virus arriving in their respective areas, there was a South African variant, an Indian variant, a Brazilian variant, a Kent variant etc. Yet Sweden has been implementing their voluntary policy for all of last year and this. You say it is a deadly variant...
