... I am glad you think so, and I would agree, but to a significant extent many of these depend on a robust economy. There is a large body of opinion that suggests that the UK economy will either sink or grow less quickly post Brexit

.. that is a brilliant sketch, unfortunately it could probably be aired today as a valid political comment,

... Warning.... If your car has protection devices like an immobiliser, you may need to keep power from the battery or engine at all times. Otherwise you may need to bring it to a garage to get it reset. If the engine is running it will supply the power .. I remember having to ensure the power...

.. you could just put a high power toggle switch, available from Halfords in series with the battery and just use the barrel key switch for physically holding the battery pack in place. Just bypass the electrical contacts on the barrell.drill through the shell of the battery case. Halfords have...

Hi Dave, you will probably already know, but depending on the vintage of your car, the cigarette lighter socket , into which these panels plug, may be isolated from the battery. On my Peugeot, it switches off after a while in order to protect the battery discharging. .. so you may have to...

1000 miles seems light to me for a quality city bike tyre. For what I would have termed road racing bikes, with thinner wheels and tyres I would not know.

.. but he loses the most powerful words a politician can utter ..."I told them not to do it and they did it etc"

Short answer yes. The longer answer ... Those battery chargers from Halfords, could buy you an extra years usage. Car batteries don't like extremes of heat and cold, vibration, and really hate being left discharged for long. The best place for a car battery is where the original Renault scenic...

... Unless he made a speech along the lines of... My fellow Britons, you and I were sold a pup (or pig in a poke... Pick your metaphor) . My party choose to stay out of it until we were in a position to actually influence matters and so let the other shower continue to make a Haimes of it. We...

The only way to test it is with a meter or a battery and bulb...

Your calculation is correct, but the rationale not so. When the device is switched on there will be a very large inrush current, charging internal capacitors in the controller. This current peaks at maybe 100 amp. And is limited only by the series resistance of the wiring from battery to...

.. I have seen references to these. They clamp rigidly to the rear wheel mounting struts and contain a battery and motorised wheel(s) .

Ultimately one must get off the fence and face reality. If what you were suggesting were true, would they not be subtlely advancing an antibrexit agenda...

Agreed. I am perplexed by their attitude. What an opposition is supposed to do has a clue in its name.

... I think kudos point was not that he was proposing to do it, but that the argument that a UK indigenous bike industry of the type Raliegh operated was no longer feasible. All of those additional arguements you have presented reinforce that belief

. Point 1. Because it was an agreed position by the EU27 to talk divorce first and visiting rights second. Point 2 . I agree in hard Brexit everybody loses, in the order UK worst, Ireland a close second or maybe joint winners, the rest of the EU a distant third and geographically those states...

.. which part of the EU parliament " agreeing to let the negotiators do the talking" did you not understand?

... That is the current arrangement, the one the UK has vowed to walk away from.

.. again the assumption that the EU negotiators are driving a hard Brexit. There are no forces visible on the UK side for any soft brexit. I do like the term kamikaze Brexiteers All threats have been voiced by the UK side, none from the EU. Threats such as withdrawal from joint security...

.. The novelty is that the EU negotiators are keeping to their brief. There are 27 countries with differing agendas, and very early on the UK intimated that they wanted a divide and conquer strategy. The EU aware of this made an agreement as to an agreed strategy which was the one they are...
