lots of people miss that button because we leave it off when shipped.

the throttle has an on/of square button just below it. it's on when depressed. The picture below is from the Rambletta but the throttle is the same model.

Hancock could not be seen to squander that much money, so our government needs someone like Harding to hand out contracts to the VIPs.

I don't know what game he (Richard Hughes, chairman of the OBR) is playing, the right wing press is going to make him minced meat.

The bit I am most worried about is inflation: bank interest rate up to 3.5%. Huge consequences for mortgages, real wages, stock prices etc. The OBR says: In both scenarios, a further sharp and persistent increase in costs means inflation peaks at 5.4% (1 percentage point above our...

I can agree with that. 8 cameras, each camera's resolution is 1.2 megapixels, 32-bit CPU + 2 x GPUs. When you see how little time the system has to recognise all objects in all 8 cameras, it seems that better hardware is needed. Quote: System Plus estimates that Tesla’s HW2.5, consisting of...

when did you see that? was it when Sunak told them to 'eat out to help out?'

those who are furloughed are not criminals, it's our government's policy and message that encourage them to do what they did.

frame number is under the bottom bracket on the GC, on the head tube under the Woosh logo on the Camino.

why should you even ask the question? Government told them not to go to work but does not tell them to stay at home. Remember which idiot who said 'eat out to help out'?

it seems that the software is OK but the cameras' resolution and processing speed are still not good enough. It won't be long though for the hardware to catch up.

the parameter presets are middle of the road, you can of course change them to suit yourself and that does not affect your warranty. Southend is very flat, I don't need the GC, I ride the Faro which has the same LCD but much smaller motor and battery and take my Brompton with me on holidays.

I am not repeating government's lines. The furlough scheme is necessary as soon as businesses are forced to close under lockdown. There is simply no way around it. The scheme grants roughly £5,000 per person it helped. Think about grants for e-cars, house insulation etc. As to why we have to...

Once the decision to lockdown was taken (to save the NHS), schools had to be closed, parents were needed at home, cinemas and restaurants must also be closed. Furlough is the only way to keep businesses going. Although I closed my shop for about a year, I kept staff working from home as much as...

the Swedes' success may be partly down to their national character, having fewer hooligans than we do. As for the amount we spent on covid, the 68 billions spent on furlough is justified, the rest was thrown in mostly wrong directions like test & trace and god knows how much went to friends of...

I suppose I cling to life a bit more than when I was younger. You may see hysteria but I see grave concerns. Until not so long ago, probably around last June, should we need to go to hospital for any reason, we may not come out alive despite all the precautions pre vaccination. Even now, every...

the wiki article you linked in your post rexplained that we would need 225 CCBs per 100,000 inhabitants if we don't do anything to mitigate the disease. The AZ is said to be 74% effective, In the North where we achieve 90% vaccination rate, that leaves 1 - 0.74*0.90 = 34% requiring 225 * 0.34 =...

I have never contradicted that letting nature take its course is not a solution, only it's not optimal because they block the hospitals for all of us.
