I think Barry excluded Londoners from his post. Forget the Eastenders show, that is a historic caricature. As just another minority, only just over 40% of Londoners are white British born, which of course includes all the many Scots, Welsh and all those from the English regions resident here...

Indeed, and that is exactly what would have happened initially with my advice. A carbon copy of what happened in London, the initial surge with very high infection rate and high early deaths, followed by much lower rates. I argue that was because of getting it over quickly by letting the most...

It was his attempt to associate himself with the mass of the people, an "I'm one of you". .

For months I've been repeatedly telling you all what should have happened. Government only giving the advice on Covid-19 avoidance. No threats, no police involved, no enforcement against people or companies, no lockdown. Let life continue with any defensive actions left to individuals...

He just doesn't have any of the ability to be a prime minister. Why so many couldn't see that was obvious long ago baffles me. .

Yes. There's 24 magnets read by the Hall sensor per rotation of the output shaft so those will give a quite consistent change. .

I think you mean euphoric. I doubt this possible infection will have made him more enthusiastic about the European project. :) .

The authorities lost control of the public very long ago in many parts of the UK, the police and even the military no longer have the ability to enforce what the public refuse to accept. Fundamentally this is true everywhere and why history had so many successful revolutions. .

Picky aren't you. :D

It was A to B I had in mind. They weren't able to shift all they had made and reduced the price a couple of times. Standardisation isn't something Panasonic believe in, apart from being one of the awkward squad! .

But who says which one of you is right? The world has some wives who like to be swapped. .

:D

But that's a ques tion of what can be done in differing societies. Try the Chinese approach here in the UK and see what happens! Londoners refused to tolerate even what little we did at the outset and openly defied the rules and the authorities, and still do. We had the spectacle of greatly...

But you cannot prevent all those 1.5 million deaths and attempting to could totally wreck the future for the young, and assure those you've saved a very poor extension to their lives. Those are moral issues too. As I keep repeating, it's an unavoidable balance of life versus economic cost. .

The Inuit would have disagreed, for them it really was about practicality and opinion. .

I did divide the 20% into three segments in my original post, not giving their sizes, with one of them being "showing no symptoms". So I agree 10% is likely, but I was being kind to the opposition who can't bear the idea that Covid-19 is not the big deal it's being made out to be. .

I don't agree. Life expectancy at birth for a male has increased from 65.7 years in 1920 to 89.4 years in 2020, 36% in 100 years. That is so far out of synch with evolution it's ridiculous, so there is a cost and this is it: Healthy life expectancy has also increased, but not as much as life...

The operative words being may be, As I posted, this is a matter of opinion and practicality and I am convinced we've made all the wrong choices, I firmly believe the Swedish approach was far better. It may not have been the best but it was the best I know of for our circumstances. Time will...

in its day this Panasonic motor was excellent, but that day was very long ago, so for the following reasons don't touch this one unless it's at a giveaway price: The 2015 is false, by the end of 2011 four years after the Panasonic motored one was introduced, the Kalkhoffs were being equipped...

There have been diferent Giant Lafree models, each with more than one sprocket. Do you mean the 14 tooth motor sprocket on the Panasonic mid motor? If so I have an answer for you for a new CNC machined replacement one at low cost. .
