When we've asked for ranges in this forum the most common consumption has been 12wh per mile. But some manage to consume only 7Wh per mile, while others with greedy motors have eaten 24 Wh per mile. So you can see the possible range varies very widely with the bike model and rider fitness...

Indeed, intensive care was full days ago. Hence the ExCel Centre conversion, but it's just an empty space at the moment. .

But that was my point, it cannot be done properly since checking every story isn't possible. Therefore it shouldn't be done at all since all it does is increase transmission opportunities, rather than reducing them. .

In 20 minutes time at 4pm, BBC Radio 4 broadcasts "BBC Inside Science", looking at Covid-19 issues such as Lockdown Efficacy. Later it will also be available on the i-player on this link .

I had to smile at this. On some canal towpaths I know, strictly observing social distancing at all times would mean one of two passing people would get very wet and need to be able to swim. Fortunately the government advice isn't what is on this sign. The advice says try to observe the 2...

We (meaning I these days) do it for you, members cannot have access to editing the map since that would enable anyone to wreck it. All you need do is post the first half of your post code and I'll do the rest. N.B. Not the full post code since that loses your privacy. .

Ditto, fully agree and much more happy with the Vax than the Dyson my brother had. Dyson is full of BS, and I wasn't impressed by his moving production to China but retaining UK manufactured retail prices. .

Which is potentially stupid since it creates additional contacts, putting the officers and drivers at risk. .

Here you are Vic, a UK supplier, https://www.allbatteries.co.uk/electric-bike-battery/panasonic-motor-26v/kalkhoff.html You can also get cheaper from Germany: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/283674131183 since Kalkhoff switched to using the equivalent batteries made by German manufacturer BMZ...

See above. My method isn't affected by a long lull period. .

Good idea. Being old enough to be considered one of the wartime generation and well remembering the 12 years of privation of the war, rationing and the post war period, I've always been prepared. At all times for decades I've always had at least a months worth of supplies, often much more, so...

So having hoarded supplies to stay in total lockdown isolation for the first wave, which is sensible, the lull should be used to restock so one can stay in total lockdown isolation for the second wave. That is perhaps what the government should be advising and planning supplies for, since it...

Because it's scary. The thing the media would like more is if it was three morgues. .

Apparently the mysterious "they" thought it was a good idea in view of his 71 years and circumstances. If the "they" were from the many people who have the misfortune to closely work for him, it could have been wishful thinking on their part, of the "Please God" nature. .

I did look and there's no unnecessary linking into FB. It's showing the inside of the vast Excel Centre which is being converted into an emergency hospital for Covid19, with 4000 beds and 2 morgues. Worth a look to see the scale. .

And like so many in the Orient, they were all wearing face masks from the outset. Any face mask helps since it prevents moisture droplets from mouth and nose being sprayed out towards others and surfaces. .

Like this forum. :D .

I can tell you. In all age groups there are some ignoring all the advice, but I think most in all age groups are abiding by it. The problem is that when some from one group ignore it, they tend to stand out. This week here it is teenagers, but last week it was older people. Eventually...

Halfords have issued a statement. Most of their currently closed premises will be reopened by the end of the week since they are classified as essential businesses. They will be operating a form of "drive though", ask for the item or service from 2 metres, be served and pay contactless only...

Certainly during the period that the virus has been present we've had a couple of periods of very strong winds, the one when that paint can incident occurred almost mini tornado in strength. Any active droplets could certainly travel quite far then, but usually I think only within a local area...
