    It's for Him to say, but I think God's representative in the pedelecs forum meant the Spanish would prefer to establish where there was restriction free access to the EU and EEC countries. .

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    Agreed, that was our Home Office's decision. But like it or not, the Supreme Court ruling supports that position in practice, as does the position of the majority of the British public surveyed. .

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    On that subject, Hasbro, the organisation that owns the rights to Mr Potato Head and Mrs Potato Head have announced that they are changing their image to gender neutral. They say that old gender identity is too restrictive to reflect today's realities. Truly the world has gone completely mad...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    It might seem odd from me, but I agree. A line in the sand had to be drawn to demonstrate that no matter how deserving the person might seem to be, knowingly, willingly and against all attempts to stop her, joining such a despicable and inhuman an organisation as ISIS must be met with no mercy...

    A future way to charge your e-bike

    Not possible though, no external locks involved. The charge point flaps are internally latched and even if forced open the charge point won't deliver or receive current until authorised by the car key holder. Yes, far too wasteful. Batteries and to a limited extent fuel cells are the way to...

    Why Elon Musk is not a genius

    Agreed about fitness for purpose, but Elon Musk primarily serves his US market where the cars he produces suit their often very long distances and spacious roads and they are also suitable for similar markets elsewhere such as Australia and many European major roads. And his biggest seller now...

    Forecast by me on 26th October 2016 on this link, together with a forecast that GM would leave the UK with us leaving the EU. They have done exactly that since by selling Vauxhall and Opel to Peugeot. And the Peugeot position on Ellesmere Port forecast on 29th July 2019 on this link .

    Polly, don't you realise that you've posted a double positive? The word FAKE reverses the meaning of bullcrap, meaning you believe Covid-19 genuinely exists. .

    . This e-car related Link is of interest to e-bikers because it includes vehicle-to-load (V2L) charging from the car for e-bikes. .

    Hyundai under its electric sub brand Ioniq has launched a new model the Ioniq 5, which includes the following: Another exciting feature is the vehicle-to-load (V2L) charging, which allows the IONIQ 5 to act as a charger.

    The comparison to Tesla doesn't exist, there is no comparison. But it has competition in this microcar from Switzerland And the Citroen Ami:

    I'm sorry to learn that. However our dentistry is supposed to be part of a free medical service paid for by National Insurance deductions and once was. We still have the National Insurance deductions but much in the NHS is chargeable now, except for the young and old. From prescriptions at...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    I hadn't quoted it, but it did advise to contact the council if not registered. Not very reassuring when one's council is so incompetent that it's twice issued section 114 notices of bankruptcy and is currently on government support. Asking them for help is bit like asking a starving person...

    Not in my case, this was dentistry and both private and NHS treatments are usually carried out by the same dentists to the same standards. In fact NHS dentistry in the UK became a bad joke many years ago with such high NHS charges that many dentists, including mine, stopped doing any NHS work...

    There apparently was one at nights on a nearby popular local beauty spot and high viewing point, but I'd only gone there by day. There's also a very upmarket Chinese restaurant there which is used by night of course, and it was a complaint by them about the dogging in the extensive car parking...
