How do you know that the EU are loading the bill with irrelevant items. ? Would it not be the case that the UK government position is that anything on the bill is unacceptable...

Sorry flecc, but Germany is not the EU country most affected, it may have the largest flows of money, but Ireland's trade with the UK is a larger fraction of our economy.

... No woosh, only one EU country is in the position where it might lose as much as the UK. Geography and proximity matter and Ireland is the only country.

.. in my case , and in a French village, the local water supply co-op, were on a lead pipe removal kick, installed a new plastic pipe from their water main, without I think a stop cock on it, dug a hole inside my property, installed a stopcock followed by a water meter and a manhole cover over...

When he's right he's right.... The image below is of the standard iq curve with a standard deviation of 15. That argument about cornflakes, is surely in favour of a meritocracy not inheritance ???

Are the Tesla version not merely a repackaged version of 2015/6 Li ion technology?, Bigger package, slightly higher power density. Improved manufacturing scale. There are minor advances in chemistry and manufacturing and probably mining techniques year on year, and they all take time to filter...

Nope. You can be fined if your horse performs on the roadway. The jarveys ( drivers of tourist horse drawn carriages ) in Killarney , Ireland, are required to have big nappies(on the horses , not themselves.. but you never know), by law. The crime of wanton and furious driving was invented for...

It depends on what you want optimised. Is it capacity, is it speed of recharge or is it number of recharge cycles , is it size or is it energy density.(watthr per kg). And or is it safety and price and availability of materials. In terms of chemistry you need to have two elements or compounds...

I am reading with interest the other postings, from people with more experience than I and their dislike for slime type products. My advice was in the context that you gave a brand new bike with good quality fresh expensive tyres on it and you or I would be reluctant to scrap them. Halfords have...

In fairness, the previous few months were lower than the trend line, so it is likely that a number of businesses were struggling on and the crunch came in January, perhaps when new stock needed ordering. As was stated, the number of new businesses may well have peaked 18 month earlier, without...

I would strongly recommend replacing your two tubes with those slime filled tubes available from Halfords and elsewhere. Then you can at your leisure fit them at home and enjoy many miles of puncture free riding.

.. oh no is that one of those cursed hub motor jobbies .... We were talking quality here......!!!!

Nice of you to remember me. Just remove the intuvia display and turn the bike upside down on grass.. that is the green stuff not the special tobacco. The brake handles are solid enough and the assist control is robust. The only part I would worry about is scratching the face of the display on...

I have always disliked those graphs where the actual heights of the columns are removed. It gives a deliberately distorted view of the underlying trends the baseline for your histogram should be 0 not 3500 firms per quarter. There is nothing magical about the 3500 figure other than it is the...

The hot sun has got to you!

Thanks Woosh, I appreciate the correction.

Batteries integrated into a downtube, very neat and suitable for people who have the charger and mains point adjacent to their bike storage location, a bummer otherwise.

Bigger cross sectional area, bigger current flow, it's not rocket science.

.. oh dear the public voted lock stock and barrel to leave the EU... Not quite. How often need it be said, the majority of the public in favour of the proposition to leave the EU was wafer thin. Of the 46 million , from a population of 64 million, eligible to vote , about 34 million did...

I can accept the broad tenor of your remarks but just a few objections. IBM quit the pc market, because of the low profit margins. The existence of cloned bios and the plethora of below cost sales a by a glut in the market forced their hand With PS2 range, they had designed really clever...
