The only change is the £15 gift waiver, that has now gone. Royal Mail, ParcelForce, DHL etc will now collect VAT. There is no additional work from the customers, prices go up because taxes are automatically collected. Again, that should have been done long time ago. VAT and overseas goods sold...

it's simpler to change the BBS motor for a TSDZ2 than to design an add-on torque sensor but if you want to do it, I suggest you mount a chain tensioner somewhere and convert its angle to a throttle voltage.

I appreciate that collecting small VAT amounts is a chore. By making ebay/amazon/etsy etc to collect the VAT, their sellers still don't have to do any work, it's done by ebay/amazon and the government collects a large cheque. The new system is fairer in my view. It should have been done long...

you underestimate the potential damage of long covid.

the root problem is our NHS is under resourced. We have a lot fewer ICU beds than Germany for example, so we have to go for lockdown. This problem is compounded by stupid tory politicians who go for short term economic lower cost against NHS floundering under the number of Covid patients.

the current flu jab is based on de-activated whole viruses. So when the virus mutates, our immune system may not recognise the new mutated form. The new vaccine is based on a common section of the covid viruses genomes. It's like antibiotics, it attacks the mechanism of reproduction of any...

it's the same way DNA is forensically collected, under microscope from the lungs' membrane of the deceased. The samples are purified, sequenced and its genome uploaded into several databases. There are about 50,000 complete genomes of SARS-COV2 in the database. The one of concern to us is named...

Sunak has flashy teeth but that's about it. I bet you won't find that from the front bench of the current government nor the ERG. So Starmer of more of the same, slow decline.

that's something I have complained about for a while. It's now corrected at long last and it's thanks to the EU to make that happen. Ebay/Amazon are now responsible to collect VAT on goods sold on their website, so everyone now pays VAT. If the supplier is not VAT registered, typically Chinese...

A lack of prominent opposition is no guarantee - he's done brexit, he's no longer of use to the brexiters. The DUP has already opposed him. When BJ puts up taxes, the tory shires will desert him. If he keeps borrowing beyond 2021, the tories will also desert him. When a large Japanese car...

that's not the case. EU workers were protected by the same EU laws and ours. Sure, there is a market, if there is less supply of EU fruit pickers then wages will have to go up and farmers will have to take on our own casual workers but as I said, farmers will just apply for short term working...

his argument is ridiculous. He puts up the case of fruit farmers and assumes that they will have to hire British fruit pickers at higher wages therefore boost the economy. Firstly, if wages of seasonal fruit pickers does go up, it affects only a tiny number and seasonal workers at that. Next...

Go for missing link - guaranteed result.

time will tell I suppose. Happy New Year to you.

EFTA countries (Switzerland, Norway, Iceland) don't go down that road but opt for high tech manufacturing. The new deal is very thin, you can't even send a packet of cigarettes to someone in the EU without customs declaration nor buy medicine from any pharmacy in the EU. The cost of 250 million...

the deal as it is, does not allow us to undercut EU's standard on general taxation, environment and labour protection to gain an advantage. So it's not possible to turn the UK into Singapore on Thames. Furthermore, Singapore relies on cheap labour from Malaysia. You have to see the mass of...

If you go ahead with the Camino or Gran Camino, let us know to fit an unsprung seat post. There is no cost involved. With the standard sprung speat post, you will have to keep one foot on the pedal.

the deal is now ready for royal ascent which should be just a formality. This deal is hard brexit, no doubt about it. Although 10% more Britons think that brexit was a mistake, the hard brexiters have got their way. No tory MP opposed it, one Labour MP did. Only Libdems, Scottish and Northern...

the 5ft7 - 5ft8 is just an estimation. It'll be fine. The Camino frame has a relatively long top tube, MTB style stem and handlebars 700C tyres (the Gran Camino has beefy 650B tyres). It is more suitable for medium to tall riders because the arm reach is a bit longer than the average MTB frame...

then the EU will delay the final approval until they get the deal agreed by all 27. There is no reason why any country will object, the bar is already pretty low.
