The vast majority of police I have had dealing with would match planemo criteria. Decent, helpful and courageous. Where there is a difficulty is when anything which might affect the esprit de corps.. insulting behaviour to the force etc. Because they are forced to rely on their colleagues...

.. maybe I was lucky or maybe Irish operatives were more competent, who knew.

.. I will assure you that the Motus is excellent for on road , on tarmac, on gravel on low grass . Not suited for MTB only type terrain ..rocks, bouncing, sand dunes etc. The carrier fits standard clipon panniers and no problem. I keep an Oxford armoured cable in mine, for those extended...

.. I have the step through version of the Motus, which is the slightly more luxurious version of the Captus, with hydraulic brakes , a slightly bigger battery and I am told slightly better gears. The review for the crossbar version is right on the button. A comfortable bike capable of decent...

.. I will explain again. .. all weight on the bike irrespective of where it is .. on the person or in the frame or carrier increases the mass of the bike and reduces acceleration and deceleration. It makes it slower to accerate and slower to stop. It means that going down hills is faster and...

If you remove all the additional add on programs virus checkers, quick boot options printer drivers for old non functioning printers etc you have got and reinstall the original software it will be just as fast or slow as it was originally. The biggest boost to performance for an aging laptop is...

Inflammatory statements hurt , but inflammatory materials kill.

Yes it's safe to do so, but with the following provisio the wheel is weaker, it is more prone to more buckling and you probably have to back off the tightness of the brakes. Before I got my wheel fixed there were a number of broken spoke . A small 16 or 20 inch wheel is a lot stronger against...

... I m a softie, .. it will hurt many people, bigly.

I agree with your reasons, and I would hope that such would be the outcome. But it effectively means that the UK admits it's mistake and eats humble pie. It's not a diet they are used to. I can assure UK citizens that Ireland , both sides, would be fully supportive, without conditions , for a...

.. Kudo Dave, regrettably, the answer is no no no it was a lie or a canard that Brexit is reversible . Putting it bluntly after the UK sent in their A50 letter, they have lost all control and are now dependent on comfort of strangers. This English Scottish guy who claims it's reversible , no...

Tom I apologise for the delay in responding, but I had other more urgent tasks. I would hope that my comment regarding French responses versus English responses would not be viewed as racist. It was intended to convey a difference in the two educational systems, where in France logic is a...

.. actually I supplied my local Halfords with a set of spokes and asked them to true a hub drive motor wheel, and I was am very happy with the result. Wheel is true, spokes fitted , excess spikes returned to me.. basically a very nice job

Yes. But .. read what d8veh had said 80%of what. Think of the battery cell as a plastic barrel with a tap in the bottom. As the battery fills up it's weight ( total water or total charge) increases , also as the height of water increases , the pressure or voltage changes . If the barrel is...

d8veh, your responses to this and similar questions presupposes a specific type of BMS .. essentially analogue in performance, where the cells are all charged in a series configuration and then when the voltage accross an tier exceeds an externally imposed limit, bleeds off charge. Such BMS...

Tom your responses to Woosh were at best ungracious. I cannot understand some of his stances on the Brexit question, but in the matter of grenfell, his upbringing would have expected rational answers to the questions he has posed. Such is the French way. Like Woosh I am surprised that some of...

I honestly cannot see anything wrong with having national ID cards, with biometric data

Thanks I will remember that whenever I encounter geeks bearing gifts

... Well there are a few wetherspoons in the Dublin area already. They do a really good high calorie full irish or full English breakfast at a remarkably good price. Would set you up for a full day .

... Why did you not take the money? They were offering? .. presumably it was they asking you for money
