    Brexit, for once some facts.

    Tesla have in fact turned down the UK for its new European e-car plant and is currently building it in Germany. I see no prospect of them building their car batteries here for a German plant's car production, especially with the tariffs uncertainty and customs etc barriers. .

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    In can assure you they don't, as can every black person It's not just about opportunity, ask footballer Raheem Stirling. He's a top class premier league player earning huge sums, but he's suffered the most appallingly insulting discrimination as I've seen on television, simply on account of...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    An end to the discrimination which so obviously exists. They see from the body language and nature of the looks and reactions they get that they are not accepted in the same way as the white population. In some ways it was better in the days of overt up front discrimination, it's constantly...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    No they weren't, we have no "rivers of blood". These demonstrations were overwhelmingly peaceful, the small minority of offenders being no different from a similar proportion in predominantly White demonstrations. My neighbours and friends on both sides are black, the DPD driver who made a...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    Yes I know, but I still would have liked to see a video running to know whether he just dropped the mask for a moment. I've seen a number of them do that to get speech through more clearly without exposing the open mouth. The nose doesn't matter so much, especially when the head is inclined...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    This happens all the time routinely, unconnected with Covid-19, I've known of many in London. Nearly one third of all UK households are single so it's inevitable. Years ago we had one in our section of six flats who laid undiscovered for around three months, the maggots consuming so much of...

    Presta valves - Whats the point!

    I agree with you and would like all valves to be Schrader. However, Presta valves were created for the skinny wheeled road bikes that the sport riders use since the large Schrader valve hole weakens those very narrow rims. And history comes into it too since there's the also the Woods/Dunlop...

    Replacing / recelling battery for Giant Lafree Twist

    J489, separate terminals. The two discharge terminals with square connectors you cut off to wire to the two metal contact pads that connect to the bike, getting the polarity right of course. The two charge terminal wires to the 7 pin charge connector. You remove their NTC thermostat from...

    Giant Lafree

    Tom, your post is puzzling me, a 2005 Lafree didn't have brake sensors or a black front mudguard. A photo of one of them will help to identify it correctly. This history page from my Lafree website may help you towards that yourself. .

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    Agreed on the facts of course, but not important then or later since the nature of humanity is such that we would have conceived an alternative series of events that would have a similar mix of good and bad consequences. We are in today, the first century of the third millennium, so the...
