I would go with the Halfords.. you can go into the shop and see one and it does look like a well specified town bike.

The problem here is that this is all pre referendum. It might be illuminating to see the 2017 figures... remember the pound took a hammering from which it has not recovered.

Just to tie the two threads together maybe the bike shops should sell cappuccino while your getting your wheel straightened? . As I said previously in France those bike shops would also be servicing mopeds and mowers.

Would major prestige brands like ktm Raleigh R&M ( not trying to be parochial here) be fundamentally opposed to selling their product via Argos? I note that major Global brands like Sony have no difficulty. Not their full range of ciurse but some of their ranges..

There is a way in which these two apparently widely different figures can be reconciled. There could well be 18000 outlets where bikes are sold, when you include toy shops, childcare shops, seasonal Christmas shops, garages supermarkets second-hand shops even Argos.. If you restrict the...

I would assume this is what would happen. History is a good guide. Some blacksmiths went into fixing and building bikes and agricultural kit, then bike manufacturers came along and the small builders became agents and sellers, then dynamos came along, then radios came along and the bike shops...

On a back of envelope type calculation and assuming that 10 grams of coffee bean makes a cup, 3 million tonnes is 3*10 ^9 kgm or 3*10^11 cups of coffee consumed in the EU annually. If these are consumed in say Starbucks or equivalent at 1euro a cup... This comes to an economic cost of 3*10^11...

One lives and learns . After I got my first puncture which led to a five mile walk home, I decided to get the slime stuff. Unfortunately my bike has the very narrow valves and I felt it would be difficult to inject it. So I chickened out and bought two slime filled tube from halfords own...

I suspect that the coffee situation in Vietnam is more convoluted than your analysis, and the short table might suggest. Traditionally Vietnam would have had significant coffee production, a lot of it going into generic instant coffees and not into branded products. As an agricultural product...

Surely it's not for want of trying by the current incumbent in the USA?

Back on topic maybe.... My daughter received two letters from official sources in the UK, one from a major insurance company the other from hm customs and revenue.. a tax rebate. In both cases the letters were posted from abroad. The first from France and the second from Germany. This begs...

If you are retired onto a company pension, then as Tilson has indicated, it will be linked to property.. almost certainly commercial property. Companies are required by law to be prudent in their management of pensions, and the people who define prudent look to property as the stable long term...

.. rather intolerant and short sighted of you, dare I say. Uni was and I hope still is a place for people to experiment with themselves. The budding actors etc joining the dramatic society, the potential solicitors and barristers , (gwad how I used to hate them with their loud mouthed ways and...

Should widespread single mums not be encouraged to diet?. And I have always thought that swilling beer or anything else was a waste of a resource... Perhaps they might be encouraged to drink it?.

There have been similar cases reported in the UK of European residents and I regret to say one such case extremely similar to your sister from Ireland, last week, where a English by birth women had married in Ireland had her children here but never took out Irish nationality.. why would she and...

The top ranking republican senator at that meeting, a L Graham while refusing to use the actual term did say that he had had words with DT about it and the implied racism. Without making much of it there are now multiple examples of where DT has denied statements which we have heard him...

The charger for li ion packs works in two modes .. for the early part of the charge it restricts the current into the pack by throttling back in its output voltage. This is because the conversation chemistry will only proceed at a certain rate.. if more voltage is applied, the process is...

It would, though that depends on the protections if any that the Yamaha uses. It would take a full 8 hours to charge the battery...

Cannot answer your second query , but the first one is easier... While battery chargers generate a voltage of 42v at about 4 amps and are about 80% efficient , so will be drawing around 200 watts . In theory a 250 watt jobbie from halfords should do the business. However a lot of the cheaper...

Tilson, both of us know that that is just fantasy. Even were the UK to have had a resounding 80% leaving majority, it would have little traction in the real world. The problem is not that the the majority last time was minsicule, and those belting in remaining were not compliant, it is was that...
