Different people have different circumstances, so in this case generalisation is not valuable. The fundamental difference between electric and ice cars is the time taken to fully replenish the energy. In ice it takes 5 minutes, in electric 5 hrs? . Home charging , over night, must be the...

A colleague of mine at my college being a civil engineer and therefore by definition mad, campaigned for years that instead of an airbag, cars should have a sharp spike embedded in the steering wheel. With such a constant reminder of a possible fate , he was convinced that drivers would always...

The safe speed for cars and bikes on Manhattan is about 15 mph. I don't think that cars even get to that speed in central New York. The squares or blocks are so small, the pedestrians take right of way anyway, the volume of traffic is so large... And the number of traffic lights so numerous...

The current one doing the rounds in Ireland involves a very short phone message, from a number somewhere in Africa, Cameroon or similar. It does not last long enough to even answer, and if as one might be tempted to call back, it puts one on a premium line. My son answered such a call and in...

Whether you Peter, have or do not have a racist bone in your body, is perhaps irrelevant, what is objectively true is that part of the leave campaign centred on an England for the English narrative. The posters indicated so, the constant reference to " them" indicated it, and increases in...

Now I may not know much about economics, but I can follow a logic like this. If a country is a nett importer , and it's currency drops in value by 10%, then it will cost 10% more to import the same quantity of goods. The goods that that country produces from totally internal sources, will cost...
