    Brexit, for once some facts.

    The vaccine greatly reduces the effects of an infection, no hospitalisation etc, so being fully vaccinated is wise protection against the effects of any SARS2 reinfection. Only for a few months, the no profit agreement ends soon so they'll be able to up the price to keep their shareholders...

    And whether it is as much psychosomatic as physical. Your modern version of the old saw was an interesting seasonal shift from the original saying, "One swallow doth not a Summer make". Global warming perhaps! .

    Please read my post. I did not say an economic measure. I posted an economy measure, i.e. fuel economy. Which was and remains correct. .

    Don't you read? Here's the link showing I do know exactly why the 70 limit was introduced. And this second link also refers. .

    That was years before the two year trial that proved the 70 limit didn't improve any safety figures. And many more years before the emergency economy law was ministerially introduced without parliamentary discussion. .

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    Completely true, it was an economy law and remains so. MPs raise all sorts of rubbish in discussing legislation but that wasn't and isn't part of the law. .

    Yes he can, Suzan and Zlatan are one and the same person. > we hope. One day we'll know for certain. .

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    Utter rubbish, the 70 limit is nothing to do with safety. It was trialled for two years in the late 1960s and when it made no difference to any accident rates it was withdrawn. Then when the Arab oil crisis happened in the early 1970s the 70 limit was reintroduced as an economy measure...

    For goodness sake engage your brain, that is not relevant to my argument. They did as well as us without spending enough to wreck their future. If we'd done the same we wouldn't have been £400 billions of debt worse off, our economy would have been in far better shape, our kids education...

    That always happens anyway, no matter how sophisticated the documents. The only thing that works for good security is online confirmation, like that with vehicle tax, MOT and insurance, plus finger print reading and/or facial recognition with personal items like a vaccine card. .

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    I strongly disagree, the outcomes are factual and result from our respective handling of the crisis. Sweden held its nerve and held to a consistent policy while we panicked and lurched from relaxed to strict control and back and forth again repeatedly. We are still doing that and it's stupid...

    Selling a fold-up E-bike but where do I get a box to post it in?

    Just a cardboard box that fitted snugly like a sleeve, so no packing or padding. That battery was fine though, here it is repaired with silver duct tape:

    They aren't always caring with them either. The one below was carried from China by DHL. It looks like they unloaded it before the plane landed:

    Not well realised at all and not true as the Swedish example showed very clearly. They were very relaxed, suggesting, not enforcing, only minimal restrictions. People still went to work rather than hanging around at home socialising, no primary school ever closed, secondary schools only...

    No I'm not guessing. As has been pointed out, insurance liabilities will ensure it will be mandatory. I repeat, these so called choicea are mythical in practice. .

    Liar, here's two: OG's post was, as I and Danidl have said, a perfect comparison, therefore not stupid. So that alone makes nonsense of your saying all OG's posts are Utter BS. .
