Wasn't that the French? .

I understand it was only a small trial, the main large scale one due about now. 17% against 5% sounds about right though, given London's conditions and population mix in contrast to the rest of the country. .

No you are right, and it supports what I've said, that London has been getting it right in it's faster handling of the situation. Getting it over with rather than the national policy of protracting the problem by obsessive isolation. Against the 17% of Londoners who've caught the virus, it's 5%...

I'll be 104 then ! :D Already done that. Just ignore everything they say and do what you think best from your life experience. It's what I've been doing and I think that of the average 10 year old's life experience would exceed the quality of this government's advice to date. .

Or better still a Hyundai, given how well South Korea have done with Covid-19. .

Panasonic Germany should come up with one for you. Panasonic, Netherlands still had them until recently for the previous series one Panasonic units that the Giant Lafree used, and they were discontinued back in 2006. .

I think many of you will be aware of what a complex subject electric assist bicycle law is and pitfalls in trying to second guess it. As a result, and with my knowledge of it since joining the trade 70 years ago, I'm often called upon in here to give answers on the subject. But of course I...

Welcome to the forum Geoffers. .

Most won't have any option if their lockdown benefits stop and going to work depends on the kids going to school. .

But they aren't commuters in the widely accepted sense Danidl. It's a nonsense to take it to such extremes, opening it to my doing it with the other extremes. Such as my neighbour who car commutes 40 miles each way to Brighton, those many like myself who often commuted to different...

That figures, a deliberately favourable short distance for their political purpose. Of course it's easy to engineer such a short average distance, just include those who live almost alongside their work to bring the average distance number right down. Like here in Croydon where we have the odd...

With the maximum speed of 12.5 mph if designed to that and 350 watts, they should climb most hills with ease. .

You're in now Nicholas, riding on East Clyde Street: Map link We have to restrict editing the map to prevent anyone wrecking it. .

Only for someone living in the middle, mainly the wealthy these days. For the bulk of us living in the peripheral large boroughs it covers rather little. For example my 14 miles one way just to the centre. Commutes within London can easily exceed 20 mile one way, indeed I've actually had a...

Oyster, give it up, that 9.1 miles is still nonsense. As I posted above, how could any organisation know when the commmuters themselves often have no idea how many miles they travel on public transport. They don't measure that way, they use what matters, how many hours and minutes. For...

Not really, we just have to be a little patient and they'll all die anyway. .

That wasn't even remotely true then, read my latest post just above. I don't know where they are getting these crazy figures from, but I suspect that 9.1 miles for the average round trip commute was that of LONDONERS. That might just be true for those living in London, excluding the vast...

Indeed we do have lots of villages as I know only too well having been born here and lived here almost all my life. But I'm sure you've at least heard that almost all the inner ones have become gentrified beyond the reach of such low paid workers. They come in from the four mile start points...

That's England, I was only speaking of London and they don't even begin to compare in this respect. Elsewhere people commonly live quite close to their work. In London's central employment it's millionaires who live close to their work. .

So you insist none of this ever happened?: "rushing other patients out of hospital into care homes, infecting and even killing them to create bed spaces that weren't needed, cancelling routine operations to leave surgeons and theatre staff free to work as doctors and nurses in Covid areas...
