    Brexit, for once some facts.

    "If people go inside into a pub, café , theatre or have a family gathering in their home etc, the probability of catching Coronavirus increases massively. It’s not a difficult thing to understand" First stick to what I posted, It does add up in London, I've no idea what the position is...

    I've answered that to you already, but you'd rather repeat yourself than acknowledge that Ferguson and I referred to PARTS of London. .

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    And again I repeat, they are visitors who don't affect London's figures. We don't go there, it's too much hassle, the last time I went to Oxford Steet was the beginning of 1972, almost half a century ago and I don't know any fellow Londoners who do any more, not even those friends in the inner...

    Giant Lafree ST larger motor sprocket

    The answer is yes Mark. The power reduction is Hall sensor controlled by a ring of magnets in the motor output shaft gear enabling sensing RPM, so increasing its chain sprocket size will increase the pedal cadence at each of the four power step down points between 9.4 and 15 mph assist with...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    Again you make the same mistake of assuming this population modified behaviour. I don't know how many times it will take this person on the spot telling you that here they either haven't or that any modification was adverse before you accept it. Perhaps you never will, preferring your own...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    Although there's some truth in the first paragraph above, the second isn't true. Over 80% of the population are either immune to Covid-19 or suffer no symptoms from it or so few symptoms that it leaves them barely affected at all. Since those venues have long existed healthily on much smaller...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    It's a fake story, he hasn't caught Covid-19, it's just a fashionable establishment dodge to avoid something or other. Half our cabinet used it at various times, as did Dominic Cummings and some of Trump's team. Even some of our royal family have employed it. .

    Lazy Journalism

    Halfords have a nerve saying this: Halfords do not sell conversion kits. Halfords said this is because it is not sure of the safety of conversion kits and because of the 'grey legal area'. Meanwhile they sell e-scooters which are completely illegal anywhere in public when privately owned...

    NiMh Battery recommendations sought.

    When we were still using NiMh, some of us used ready made packs from Batteryspace in the USA. Expensive these days, but convenient in various configurations of D cells to suit and only having to insert your existing NTC thermistor and connect up...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    I'm sure all those many youngsters I see shelf stacking or staffing supermarket checkouts are already realising that. And it's likely to be up to a decade before it can get any better. But I do have some sympathy for them, since a long line of politicians have been putting the idea in theirs...

    It seems we've lived a life in parallel in numerous respects, though mine in earlier decades, even to a bit of flying, though my passion has always been the natural history world with some specialisations. .

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    Although I fully agree with the principle of what you posted, not entirely. The quality of a property, the area it is in and the employment opportunities in the reachable area make huge differences in prices, and therefore ability to pay at a given price level. Down at lowest income levels you...

    Not like that. Our floorstain back in the 1940s was just a brown woodstain soaked into the floorboards and when dryed treated to a floor wax coating to seal it, making it easy to sweep and occasionally polish. Basically like furniture is stained and waxed, though to nothing like the same...

    Obviously I didn't mean going that far, that's more a development possibility for someone prepared to gamble. The last house my brother moved into well into this millennium was built in 1900 by a local builder, no architect involved and scarcely improved since. All the doors were rural plank...

    New houses are not the only option to buy, there are huge numbers of older ones still like those earlier ones, flagstone floors, stained floorboards, worn out lino, primitive bathrooms etc., going cheap but still perfectly liveable in as first homes while gradually improving them and making a...
