    Are indicators worth fitting

    Yes, the word goes right back to the 1900s when they were invented, almost at the same time as the car! They were operated by pulling a cable back then, internal lights were added in 1908, arm motor in place of cable in 1918 and then finally solenoid operation in 1923. Neither the motor nor...

    New electric bike magazine and demo event

    Sadly Felix Dennis died a little while ago, but his company Dennis Publishing is continuing with his entrepeneurial spirit. Sometimes when a title fails to take off they launch a website based free version of it in the hope of better times later. .

    Still not worrying about it, on earth only one in 750,000 catching it and only 3.4 % of them dying from it. .

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    We don't have butchers shops, or fruit and veg shops or fishmongers, virtually all wiped out long ago by the large range of supermarkets. Even our famous central markets affected, Covent Garden Market moved out from that location and the old Smithfields meat market shut down. Mine is a very...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    Just noticed one effect of the Coronavirus, a vast nearly empty space on the tomato products shelf which is normally occupied by Italian chopped tomatoes etc. Italy is clearly going to be badly hit. And something unconnected and quite peculiar since Tuesday in this very large supermarket...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    But the Labour party who were just as much the butt of the accusations had not resigned. It need to be exposed that accusations of anti-semitism are very rarely justified. There is some anti semitism everywhere in any organisation, just as there is some anti-anything else everywhere, so...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    The main time I mix is when supermarket shopping, but I do that at one that serves the very upmarket Woldingham Village area, aka millionaires row. The Coronavirus wouldn't dare turn up there, so I'm safe. .

    When it exists and not merely used as a difficult to deny weapon. Viz the Tory accusations against Corbyn and Labour that instantly ceased the moment they won the general election. .

    New battery tech coming soon

    The same for all e-vehicles since powered vehicles first appeared. In the early years of the last century, the electric car was the car of choice, vastly superior in almost every way than the petrol and steam cars of the time. The one failing was the short range due to their heavy lead acid...

    Clear evidence that the government believes that leaving the EU will seriously damage our currency. Therefore they take the usual defensive measure, switch to gold. .

    Dalston fatal e-bike crash rider 'going too fast' - Court Case

    Absolutely true Rob and made even worse by the current decision that to cope with the shortage of magistrates, the bench now only needs two when necessary, rather than three. .

    Dalston fatal e-bike crash rider 'going too fast' - Court Case

    That's rich, considering the assumptions you've made about what I've posted. ;) Thank you, now we are getting somewhere. That saves me having to type many instances of actual evidence of what I've contended can and does happen. Maybe not, yet how strange that it's happened in a much lesser...

    Dalston fatal e-bike crash rider 'going too fast' - Court Case

    As is your response which contains all manner of ridiculous suggestions and ignores once again what I've actually posted. Clearly you seem to believe our legal system today is perfection itself and uncorruptible and I'm probably wasting my time trying to convince you that there are occasions...

    Dalston fatal e-bike crash rider 'going too fast' - Court Case

    I agree on this case with all that we know now. Early on I suggested by saying "I am caused to wonder" whether there was just a possibility of policy interference, this based on actual knowledge of this happening, but I did not say it did. Of course it is never a direct instruction of any kind...

    Dalston fatal e-bike crash rider 'going too fast' - Court Case

    Why do you completely ignore what I posted and pretend it was something else? I stressed that it was not about speeding and that no evidence of that was necessary. It is as I said about using a vehicle that was illegal on the road, at any speed, and that is what I've posted from the outset...
