Indeed, they were never long lived. None of the three I had reached two years, usually failing far short of that. .

A very fair post Fingers, still cognisant that the EU has many faults as I also recognise, but also acknowledging the importance of the euro. The latter you know I've always maintained to be true. I would still have preferred us to have joined the euro long ago, since that would have made it...

So he bought this so called "great deal", and there's still the £39 billions to pay. Seems Theresa May did better than him after all. I dread to think what sort of a trade deal he'll get for us. .

First problem is unsprung weight which should always be as low as possible. Second problem is their argument against themselves. They rightly say ultra high rotation speed is best for power to weight ratio, but the wheels rotate far more slowly than current e-car motors. The only solution to...

Best fly or use the tunnel. If Bojo wins the GE, the ferries could be struggling to navigate through all the rubber boats as British refugees flee to France. .

Given how long trade talks often take, it could be at least three more Christmases to Brexit. .

Human rights. This is one area where the EU is vastly superior to us, given our cavalier attitude to the subject. As much as the EU are as keen as us on dealing with crime, they are also concerned that the law should not abuse. As members we have to conform to the Human Rights legislation and...

It may well be, given the strange mix of vehicle laws in France, but not as a pedelec since they have the same pedelec law as us and the rest of the EU. Maybe some form of moped? For example of their differences, until recently 14 year olds could drive low powered 30 mph cars without any...

No, the EU pedelec law still applies to them. The French have always seemed to have an odd mix of laws and concessions for differing kinds of vehicles. .

Understood, just the Hull Daily Mail reporting an entirely Lancashire event. Yorkshire and Lanacashire never miss a chance to get one over the other! .

It's not illegal to sell vehicles that can't be used on the roads since there are some legal places they can be used. Vehicle illegality is only about usage, never about supply. .

There are usually ways. One is using the redundancy route, "we can only continue employing so many under these new conditions. Without your agreement some will have to be made redundant." Then there's the relative lack of protection for part time workers, and the supermarkets employ lots of...

What has this to do with Hull? He is from St Helens and has committed offences there and at Wigan and Leigh. Those and his court appearances have all been in Lancashire with no connection to Yorkshire, let alone Hull. Really Fingers, with truth distortions like this I think buying a house is...

Agreed, but lack of worker protection long been Tory policy and it will get far worse with Brexit. .

Yes, this has been publicised here to. It's quite a fierce crackdown on powered scooters by the French. .

You're turning th argument on its head. The argument is that those inclined to use knowingly illegal dongles are more likely to break other somewhat more serious laws, like jumping lights. That's because not all dongle users will have that as their limit of offending, so a proportion will be...

It is, just another roller coaster but which costs nothing to ride. .

Life. .

I know you are keen on flying, but it's better to use aircraft rather than taking substances to get high. The latter can lead to all sort of delusions. .

Here's some hard proven evidence that those inclined to break minor laws are more inclined to break other more important ones. Many years ago when Rudy Giuliani became the Mayor of New York, he was convinced that was true, based only on the logic and previous studies. Therefore he ordered the...
