.. lovely engineering, lovely high price!

.. short term pain for long term gain.... Think of the savings in socks and shoes .. you must start thinking of the upside

.. what is even more appalling is that even at this late stage it is potentially redeemable, but no one wants to take a lead. Any public discourse assumes it must happen. It is now akin to painting the stable doors, in nice shades of blue ,red and white stripes, while ignoring the horses who are...

. You specify 25 mph while all your other measurements are metric had you meant 25 kmhr? If so there are plenty of road worthy reliable ebikes out there . Your total height gain and fall is modest . Any bike with 400 to 500 whr battery will be very suitable. My suggestion is to look at the...

Hang on how well you you know his wife?

.. I would agree with the 30mph making one feel vulnerable. You can do this on most ebikes down hill and any ordinary bike downhill , but you then start thinking .. what if the brake block moves, the cables snap, the chain pops off and locks the backwheel, or I sneeze... Others won't agree but...

Tom which part of might is right do you not understand... Not accept but understand?

Each to their own, but I used to find the cost of the electrical connection very reasonable in my caravaning days. It meant you could boil kettles in a quarter the time of gas, run a small TV , and roast a chicken, using those cheap tabletop ovens, or do a stew on an electric skillet. .. pre...

.. cannot work it out are you a marmite leaver? ,, IE in favour of leaving it in the shop.

. French chips as they call crisps are really good. They make plain ones just with salt.. excellent... Have to say that neighbor works in local factory for them... Marmalade... Really good stuff sold as conserves in France.. not adulterated with extra sugar or peptin. Try the bio shelves in the...

... YES YES a thousand times Yes....

.. ok replace with unforeseen. There is a school of thought which claims that there is no such entity as an accident. Every action has consequences , and if an accident occurs it was because someone had failed . It is obviously the case that the proponents of Brexit assumed that only good...

H I didn't like the reference in that BBC report of the transfer of eu agencies as spoils. They are the unfortunate consequences of the decision taken by your houses of parliament, and then the disasterous, decision of invoking article 50 before any homework was done. The EU would have been...

.. There are a variety of storage options and other load balancing strategies. Large area grids, covering numbers of time zones, and smart metering transcontinental energy collection systems, wind , PV biomass, fossil fuel, nuclear are all needed. There are a large number of energy storage...

Let's give the fraisthorpe plant a miss. We have a number of postings about pumped storage systems, they are fine but expensive as most civil engineering projects are.

. The bit about children of UK citizens and EU citizens seems to be up in the air.

.. this one is obvious. . Under a head of water, even a plastic bag can become a reservoir. Pumping air in under pressure, stores it. There was also a suggestion of pumping air into big bags at very low pressure, probably 0.5 bar, and allowing the tide to compress them and then at high tide...

... Oh dear will Sarabee, blow a gasket if she sees this.

Agree that at a pressure of 1000 bar, the compression is about 5% .for water.

... Yeah, we could do that by putting some kind of propellers in the way and use the fact that as the atmospheric pressure changes it make the air move, this could get those propellers to rotate .... Oh!
