We've been told not to, since they are overloaded already. In the end I may have to though. Agreed, indeed at any time government of any country is an impossible task. That's why those in government are so incompetent and potentially dangerous, only the mentally ill or incurably megalomanic...

They've had my Pfizer vaccine in their new German deep freezers of my hospital for almost a month now as I'm a priority case, but when if ever I receive it seems vague. See my earlier reply .

Perhaps we should wait until there are 7.5 billion of them so we can each have a personal tailored one. :) .

Only first with the government propaganda, I want to see proper evidence like my punctured arm, not TV features. It was their TV feature that boasted my health trust was the first in th UK to get the vaccine and that all our trusts essential NHS staff and borough's care homes and all over 80s...

As posted much earlier, it won't happen because it cannot happen, The government has already laid down markers, the most recent and very important one being that for the scooter trial. They've stated that if, after the trial, scooters are approved for public usage, they intend not the current...

I've just used my e-car for a post Christmas shop. It had been on charge overnight at temperatures between +1 and -1 degrees C and the range indication when I set out was 149 miles. The best indication I've ever had was 172 miles at the warmest point of this last summer, so that's an indicated...

Indeed, it's about the tolerance we should have for all road users. I hate expressions like "battling through traffic" and "fighting for road space" since to me that is a wrong attitude. We shouldn't do either, we should all think in terms about sharing road space and giving way to others...

Not really, a huge proportion of our salad stuff comes from Spain et al, all perishable, so this is probably a reaction to the truck holdups. I don't suppose the carnivores who throw gherkin out of their burgers will worry about the loss of veg though. .

It's clear enough, but no customs officer will have the necessary information to accurately check compliance, especially when the non-originating parts extend beyond the eyes. Dolls hair for example. .

Only some in certain markets, my 2018 Nissan Leaf doesn't and as said, is little affected in winter in Britain. It just accepts less charge when cold, losing me a maximum of 30% range, some of that loss to due to heating the car's cabin to keep me warm. In any case I've read online that on...

I certainly wouldnt worry about this Paul. My electric car uses a perfectly ordinary lithium ion battery which, like almost all e-cars is slung under the car body exposed to the outside air, and it has no battery heater. It routinely gets charged in winter down to almost zero degrees. All...

That's a very British opinion and experience, not widely shared. Why do you think our type of pedelec law is so common thoughout the world, all with the same limits? It's because for most of the world it makes perfect sense, since they ride bikes in a far more sensible way than so many...

They were a crazy idea from the outset, created at a time the NHS staffing was crashing due to the recruiting from the Continent slumping and current continental staff leaving, both entirely due to Brexit. Typical Tory expediency, failed policy plastered upon failed policy in order to try to...

Almost but not quite! As futher reassurance I ran Marathon Plus on three different bikes with 27", 26" and 20" wheels during 14 years and only suffered one slow puncture which was as much my own fault as anything else. I'd chosen to ride along a cycle path where the blackthorn hedge alongside...

It's number 31. .

No pneumatic tyre is proof against all punctures, but Schwalbe Marathon Plus are the best in that respect, avoiding almost all punctures. The downside of their thick inner layer is that they are are stiff and less good at absorbing road irregularities so less comfortable. Adding a liner would...

Exactly the same in the London Borough of Croydon where, except for through routes, we have a borough wide 20 mph limit. The Metropolitan Police not only announced at the outset through the press that they would not be involved in enforcing it, they don't comply with it either in their routine...

I was made aware that this happened three days earlier. Since that was in private correspondence I can't add any detail, but I'm satisfied it did happen. It's commensurate with at least two previous actions by the force involved. .

Indeed, we were doing that already with our EU membership. That bought us far more than this deal and if we'd been more whole hearted about the European project, could have been even more rewarding. .

One of the costs of getting some free trade, exactly as we remainers predicted even before the referendum. .
