    Brexit, for once some facts.

    We've had Boris and the hiding in fridge allegations. Now I hear Trump has been christened Bunker Boy after his security men hustled him into the White House bunker due to the danger from the current mass demonstrations over George Floyd's untimely death. .

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    Nice to see you say was, about time this non event was dropped. Cummings was just being consistent, there's been no integrity whatsoever in our politics for just over forty years now, but the people have consistently voted their approval for the guilty throughout all that time. So it's rather...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    And an even more key point is that the EU has no trade with us and never has had. It's effectively a club and not a country Their 27 club member countries do trade with us and share their hit. They can easily cope with a total loss and have proved it. We take our entire hit alone and...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    I've thought this true for some while since it would be commensurate with London's fall in numbers well below the rest of the country after having nearly double their rates early on. .

    Thinking now is it all worth while ?

    I've actually ridden one back in 1952, a terrifying experience first time. I had the job of delivering it back the the customer at 16 years old after we'd worked on it. There used to be races for them in Yorkshire, may still be, but the correct name for these bikes now is High Wheelers...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    Rory Stewart was my choice for Prime Minister, so if we'd had him instead of being saddled with Boris Johnston we'd have had instant action on PPE, testing and lockdown. .

    I looked into your site only yesterday and noticed the out of stock models, but also some excellent value prices on what you do still have. Good to learn the car side is still healthy despite the lockdown, could get even better as the public realise all the car showrooms will be open again from...

    Country footpaths and why not to ride

    My council has actually produced a kissing gate specifically designed to make it impossible to get a bicycle through. And it really is impossible, even for a very strong mountain bike rider in his twenties. It was for a nature reserve where there's a by law against cycling, but that is no...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    I agree, its the same uninformed experiment the human race has been carrying out for most of the last 100,000 years. There's been hiccups on the way, but we're still here, unfortunately for the planet. .

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    I can, and think it a moral choice. Perhaps I'm influenced by not ever knowing a grandfather. One died in 1920 from the long term crippling effects of being gassed in WW1, the other died in a French prison in 1922. But not at any price, especially one we won't be able to meet ourselves but...
