One way or another. I heard on radio a couple of days ago that 900 people a day travel between India and the Britain. That should keep our virus and variant load topped up. .

That's good, you now know you are safe for a bit over 25 miles in similar terrain and weather. But of course they are two more variables. A more hilly route and you probably wouldn't get so far. And if the weather is markedly colder, battery efficiency drops so once again less miles...

Having previously had years in the trade as a motor mechanic I managed to avoid all the turkeys. My own Ford at that time was the Cortina GT with the crossflow in-line four engine, bought new for £860 at the same time as my flat, though that cost a little more at £4150. At the time I was skint...

They can't say they weren't warned. We remainers repeatedly told Brexiters that we would lose our most valuable export, financial services, giving us half of all our export income. Even the BBC warned them with a program about the losses, the one I opened this thread with. .

It's the same thing so long as you observe the reading when not using power, the LEDs are just a colour display of battery voltage, non linear so not indicating fixed ranges per LED. .

Like almost all our motor industry's models back then. Even Ford produced turkeys, do you remember this original Ford Capri, not the fashionable 1970/80s one but before that. Built on the Anglia base so the wheels miles inboard:

I did say at the outset that Starmer was the wrong man, for anything. I'm well aware of how damaging he was as the Director of Public Prosecutions, lacking in sound judgment and morality, having contempt for the established law despite being a barrister and a bully to boot. By Boris Johnson's...

Not necessarily, the system is not that linear, each LED can mean a different number of miles. Remember that as the voltage falls, so does the performance. And of course as a power assist system, much depends on what you are putting in. If after the 21 miles you are tiring so putting in...

The world gets dafter by the day. It's been announced that the annual Town Cryer competition will go ahead but in a Covid secure way. Each competitor will write down their message and send it in, where they will be judged on the clarity of the messages. What on earth is the point? .

Sounds like my gardening motto: "Nature knows best". .

Like Zlatan, I hate gardening. But I walk in the countryside a lot and my largely entymological natural history photography then involves lots of bending, reaching and stretching. Gardening without the mucky bits! .

There is a relationship between voltage (and therefore the LED readout) and content/range, but it's not very linear. For most of us it's a matter of getting used to what our bikes are capable of and riding within that. .

Yes, the battery when fully charged will show 42 volts, which will decline as you use the content. Eventually at about 32 volts the power will cut out. Battery LED meters aren't accurate, as you've found they read according to whether power is being used or not. Use power and the reading drops. .

What it's about intrinsically is being able to escape this shared organic and often not very nice world for a couple of hours of fantasy and possibility, a chance to dream. Nowhere is that more true than in FA cup matches where Davids can sometimes slay Goliaths. .

Actually they did. Fans have loudly complained about them for many years, knowing the connection between their ever rising ticket prices and these abuses. I agree. As a youngster I got into trouble by point blank refusing to take part in playing football at school, seeing chasing a ball...

Much that I agree with there, but of course the proposed ESL will just make it worse. The past very big mistake on the same lines was to allow the premier league to be formed. But at the heart still is a good game staffed at all levels with a majority of good people. It just needs rescuing...

You might have expected me to disagree. I don't since it's likely that almost everything you hate about it is due to the way the game has been so perverted by all the previous moves over many decades to turn it into a money making machine. .

All you need to know is that everyone actually involved in the game itself, fans, players, coaches, managers and even the media are bitterly opposed to the proposed ESL. Football isn't a business like any other, it's about passion, loyalty, emotion and personal involvement that other businesses...

It is a thoroughly bad scheme though, so I hope it does get killed. Once again it shows financial interests in total contempt of fans, players, managers and all others who love the game of football. Hopefully the refusals to co-operate by national leagues will kill it. Information Link .

The Indian variant is very much here already though, so he might be at just as much risk of it here in London. .
