    Brexit, for once some facts.

    Unionists really must stop living in the past. You do realise that was about 100 years ago don't you? And the battle of the Boyne was 330 years ago for goodness sake! Yet you are still marching in triumph over an event which never had any real importance. It's the huge problems you face...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    Maybe not, Labour was supportive of e-car advantaging. It was the Tory/Lib-dem coalition who introduced the grant, but the Tories alone who made both cuts. Whatever, I'm sure we'll continue with our consistent lack of any imaginative government. .

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    Our method is different. We first had a £5000 rebate, but as soon a there was a sign of a few buyers that was thought too much so it was reduced to £4500. A sudden much bigger surge in e-car buying in 2018 meant they made a further reduction to £3500. BUT, the rebates are always given. I...

    Replacing / recelling battery for Giant Lafree Twist

    Sam, I edited my last post with an addition which you missed: "Lithium if possible gives 26 volts from 7s which works ok on the Lafree since some use other e-bike lithium batteries mounted elsewhere such as on the Lafree carrier." So another option for you is to swap to a lithium battery...

    Replacing / recelling battery for Giant Lafree Twist

    If buying one I'd choose the thermostat pack from Batteryspace and just swap the thermostat for an existing correct value one from your own packs Sam. That means breaking into the pack wrapping, but that doesn't matter since it's such a tight fit into the Lafree case some of the plastic...

    Mayb the leaning on the media I recommended to suppress the march publicity has started. Sky is trickier. .

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    I fully agree, but violence to deal with it isn't the answer since it will make things much worse with the oxygen of more publicity recruiting more to march. Covid-19 is undoubtedly a national emergency so leaning heavily on the media to minimise the publicity is appropriate. .

    re-introduction?

    Welcome back in, I hope you get an enjoyable Summer of e-cycling. Regards from another 84 year old, 1935/6 were good vintages. ;) .

    Valid though your point is, that will only reinforce their message about ill treatment and discriminatory violence. Low profile is best to minimise the publicity they are getting which acts as a recruiter for more to join in. .

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    Well I suppose it is comparatively happy in this perverse sense: The Allied death figures of British and Americans for the Normandy battle of D-Day were 37,000 dead amongst the ground forces. There were also nearly 17,000 deaths amongst the multi-national Allied air forces. Covid-19 has...

    Perhaps instead of trying to find an exact number we should just refer to his "r". (Reproductive rate) .

    Neither, we have official looting arrangements now. They're called food banks, pre-stocked from the supermarkets so no special hours necessary. .

    But 35 pence each at that quantity isn't dear. 65 pence each for 50 is practical for individuals though, if regular use is contemplated by such as a commuter. It was a pound each before the reduction. .

    Replacing / recelling battery for Giant Lafree Twist

    Since the switch to lithium batteries the supply of high discharge capability NiMh D cells has dwindled due to lack of any demand so I can't verify the Annsmann capabilities. I've seen disappointment expressed in them very long ago but that won't necessarily hold true now of course...

    According to some there's no single reliable data source, we just have a number of local borough and district information sources. However they point the same way and correspond to the overall hospitals experience in London. The link below is a Guardian report summarising the general...

    Not in London though, where the decline is much faster after a very high early rate. .
