Not to mention Farthing, Tanner, Bob/Shilling, Florin, Half-crown and the Guinea. As you've said the population couldn't cope with £sd. Nobody ever really learnt it in later life, it could only be grown into from a young age. But it was brilliant since it was often divisible by two, three and...

Things change, it's metric now with feet becoming metres, the old 20:20 expressed as 6:6. .

Not really, those would be two separate messages to two different destinations. BJ sent two messages together to the same recipient. In the second one that he signed, he, by personally disagreeing with it, acknowledged the first message, thus showing that he'd sent it and had therefore...

Yes they are replaceable, about the only part of controllers that's worth replacing. However they need to be tested to ascertain if one is faulty. If as it appears, you have no electronic knowledge or experience in replacing soldered in components, it's probably best if someone with the...

Unlikely, the men in Hull stand proud and erect. .

Yes it is treacherous, but being against it is his personal view which has no more weight than me messaging Donald Tusk likewise. It's his accompanying request for the extension that has the weight that the EU has accepted. The fact that both were sent together can be accepted that his...

Indeed, bad in any way it transpires, but that's the history of Brexit to date. One can only wonder what further problems will result during the trade talks when they commence. .

The appearance can vary to a degree but could be like one of these, there will be several of them, most often on the perimeter of the circuit board. Their job is to transmit the pulses of electrical current to the phase windings of the motor at the correct times dictated by the controller.

Probably not necessary. Note that he wrote the UK permanent representative would submit the mandated request, not himself. That should satisfy the legal requirement since he has clearly approved that step and the PM doesn't have to send the request. It only has to be officially approved by him .

The one certain thing BJ ditches is principles. I wonder how the Tory old dears who voted him into being PM feel now about him "living in sin" with his girlfriend (as they would see it) in 10 Downing Street. .

As I posted, the request was undoubtedly sent on a secure official electronic channel. Any photocopy cannot be of the received electronic message, it can only be a photocopy of a draft. You may have both there, a print out of the transmitted message and a photocopy of a draft. .

That's a guess or you have paranormal vision. ;) Donald Tusk has personally Tweeted that he has received the request and is now consulting the EU leaders about the request. I don't see anyone in the EU disputing his move, and no-one here realistically can in view of the Benn Act law. As I've...

As I've posted, the EU are treating it as a request, remember it came from the Cabinet Office through a secure official channel, undoubtedly electronically since the Royal Mail aren't that quick. So there couldn't be a received physical signature but that's still legal these days. I send...

The EU disagree and are going ahead on the basis that they have received an extension request as it came from an official source, the cabinet office. The PM doesn't have to sign it, it can be sent or verified by a court in the event that the PM is ruled in default. It can also be sent or...

Such decisions were all linked to Brexit. In that Ford case the primary reason was the collapse of large diesel engine sales, particularly their production for Jaguar. But if there were no Brexit element they could have substituted with plans for the inevitable electric power plants...

Not so, it achieved preventing BJ from taking us out with No Deal by any devious means. That was Letwin's intention and he succeeded. Of course there were undesirable side effects as you've said, but that's true of everything with Brexit, even Brexit itself. The only way to avoid most of...

But with a twistgrip shifter I choose any gear I like in one move with no faffing about with different shift actions for up and down. .

So what, they are much more sensible than fiddley thumbshifters. And they are popular with some MTB types. .

That's an example of some of the higher cost eco housing schemes I mentioned, we have one called BedZed in my area that won awards. Information Link If you read right down the link you'll also see how green it was, not just in energy but also in materials used to build it. .

It's a long time since I bought mine for my Shimano derailleurs but it seems SRAM still do the Shimano compatible ones. They make many twistgrip shifters but it seems only some are Shimano compatible, there's an 8 speed one on this link. They were made for 5 speed upwards. .
