    UK petition to raise cut-off limit

    There are three driving licence categories relating to moped class e-bikes: Category AM You can drive 2-wheeled or 3-wheeled vehicles with a maximum design speed of over 25km/h (15.5mph) but not more than 45km/h (28mph). This category also includes light quad bikes with: unladen mass of not...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    Similar to me except the last sentence. As a kid my nickname in the family was "tinribs", all of my ribs standing out and looking a bit like a xylophone. I could have been a good stand in for the Belsen photos. But I had a prodigious appetite and would routinely eat two whole platefuls of any...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    I've certainly shrunk a bit from my average height days of younger years, plus average heights are still rapidly increasing. In the most recent decades it baffles me that tall teenagers who could rival a broomstick end up little more than a decade later with barrel bodies and pot bellies. .

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    He's wrong anyway, we are not in lockdown so can't remain in it. The rules are very clear. It is only the over 70's with coronavirus symptoms who should go into lockdown isolation. The rest of us can go out to exercise and shop like everyone else and have been doing so lawfully. .

    My hospital food experiences are two in early life, one pre NHS state hospital and one NHS hospital, That's why my four hospital experiences in late life have been in private hospital with food I could look forward to. .

    Cycling. Health. Covid. Diet.

    On a ferry I can well understand the circumstances would be different. My knowledge of this is lifelong from my father always being in catering for hotels, clubs and restaurants. All that was always manual and never by chefs, the machines are ok for front of house crockery but not for the...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    The snag is that it's meaningless. Even 1 is up to 7,500. Care England need to come up with something more solid than newspaper speak. It needs the "may" left out and a definite minimum as well, such as: "Over 4,300 and up to 7,500 care home residents have died" .

    Tv

    Afraid not, e-bike reliability isn't anywhere near good enough for them to last, and that is exacerbated by the lack of spares availability for the motors, particularly crank motors. .

    Cycling. Health. Covid. Diet.

    The norm in most professional kitchens is that washing up is done by entirely separate staff in a separate area, never in the kitchen where the cooking is done. Even the most junior commis chef would never do any washing up. So it's not a chef function or skill. .

    And if Boris Johnson represents the worth of this nation, we might as well give up now and resign ourselves to death. .

    I'd say a continuing decline into a population that watches others cook on TV, rather than cooking themselves. Here are the nutrition facts for a potato, according to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, which regulates food labeling through the National Labeling and Education Act: Potato...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    I think it's somewhat exaggerated. Many of the normal illnesses at this time are being initially assessed as possible Covid-19 from ambulance stage on as a precaution and the patients dying before test results are known. That's true of the only two Covid-19 cases I know of so far. I'm not...

    It's just a typo in the population column. The figures in the other columns are correct for N.I.s population of 1.88 million. .

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    Your favourite mayor Sadiq Khan is strongly backing your stance on face masks and arguing against the government on this issue. He wants some compulsion on wearing face masks. He's also extended the trial on bus driver safety. From Monday all passengers must enter London buses via the middle...

    reporting law breakers

    No , I think this is matter for social conscience and not law. I'm joined in that view by former Home Secretary David Blunkett and our retired Supreme Court judge Jeremy Sumption. Laws should only be passed when they can achieve something. The person who will ignore good advice and the person...

    Second hand electric bikes and recycling - specifically Gepida

    This is a Yamaha issue rather than Gepida's. Yamaha copied Panasonic's unit but were rather unsuccessful with only Gepida outside of Japan adopting it and the Gepida sales rather small. More generally it's with crank drive motor units that this spares problem exists. Panasonic set the scene...
