I can easily believe that the Spanish would want to defend Flamenco by voting them in. Somehow I don't think it would work for us with Morris Dancing. .

As I posted recently, he could go to the voters again at the three year point. That's why he's announced he's getting rid of the five year term law, to give him that flexibility. Although he often does incredibly stupid things, he's never lacked sound political instincts and knows that things...

I doubt this will even be raised. The government like all governments is very keen for us to buy into e-cars and subsidises the installation of charge points., so they won't be rocking any boats with minor legislative issues: "Accessibility to electric vehicles is being boosted as the UK...

For stealth to avoid e-bike theft, best bet is a moderate size legal rear hub motor and a rear carrier with a pair of large low cost pannier bags concealing it. The battery can be in the bottom of one pannier bag. That doesn't unbalance the bike, I've often ridden with one pannier bag...

That's due to the UK speed limits only being part of motor vehicle law in the Road Traffic Acts. All kinds of bicycles and furiously driven stagecoaches are exempt, so wannabe cowboys are ok too. .

The EU's been doing that for years. I think that helped to prompt Brexit. .

Mine is the 40 kWh with a genuine 168 mile WLTP range. The 63kWh Leaf with 220 mile WLTP range was only a limited edition of 1500 cars, I suspect as much as anything a battery field trial since they've said the 63 might become a future battery. As for consumption on an e-car like the Leaf, it...

Could you please tell our politicians that? .

It will probably be way higher than 80% charging at home. With the newer generation of e-cars having from 220 to well over 300 miles range and very few drivers ever exceeding those daily, the ultra rapid charger use will be minimal. That's especially true since even when used, it's likely to...

I think it's necessary rather than fair, simply to get such an expensive intermittently used facility installed. As the e-car fleet expands, the higher rate of usage per charger unit and a slower installation rate will enable far lower prices, that also impelled by competition. And as Barry...

At the time you asked I didn't know for the Ultra Rapid chargers since I can't use them. However I have one answer now. "Ionity has announced it is switching to a per kWh payment process, rather than the flat fee it currently operates on its ultra-rapid EV charge points. Since the...

Ah but look what Sir James Mackay said: "Sir James Mackey, Chief Executive Northumbria Healthcare, said: “We are delighted to be working with Jaguar Land Rover UK, this is a great deal for NHS and public sector staff and delivers genuine benefit to our patients. " I'd love to know how NHS...

Ah but it seems all's well again in the NHS since they appear to be flush with money. They are about to get a large fleet of luxury cars, usual price from £63,925 each, to drive about in: "Jaguar has completed a deal with the Northumbria Healthcare NHS Foundation Trust to deliver a fleet of...

Indeed, all pedelec weight limits were removed in the 6th April 2015 amendment to the 1983 EAPC regulations. The police officer was clearly muddled, even about the former weight limit for a solo e-bike. .

I had to disagree. Corrupt liars are always a cost, incompetent idiots accidentally get it right 50% of the time, so they are the better choice. .

Agreed, but not relevant to the point I was making about the French inclination towards US cultural styles, even in food. How long ago was the point of my post. .

I saw the first signs of this trend back in the mid 1960s with Wimpeys in Paris, packed with French teens and twenties eating burgers and fries. They were obviously preparing the ground for such as McDonalds to easily enter. .

I agree, they are definitely starting to move out of the UK and Honda's Swindon production has already shut down and been moved back to to Japan. That will be a growing factor since the EU have agreed the tariffs on their cars from Japan reducing to zero over five years. Indeed Nissan have...

But mice are the bad guys! They have no urinary sphincter so pee continuously while walking all over our foodstuff, how much badder could they get? Cats are the good guys, they not only pee where they should and cover it over, they also kill those evil mice. .

You're missing one vital aspect. In those films we enjoyed long ago, we always identified with the good guys who always won against the baddies. This was made dead easy for us, the goodies wore white, e.g. Roy Rogers and the Lone Ranger, the baddies wore black and despicably used knives which...
