What it says is what actually happens, that all over the country the police no longer take notice of cycling on the pavement so it's commonplace with impunity. That's reinforced by the proliferation of shared pavements and paths, marked for both bikes and pedestrians. Faced with the...

I'd love to see it though. And it could happen, if Johnson lost his seat do you really think the Tories would give up power if they won the election? Of course they wouldn't, they'd either still keep unelected Johnson as PM or could repeat what they did with Sir Alec, select someone right...

No it isn't necessarily illegal, see this link .

Ditto in horrible weather. Despite the early claims of a high turnout which were probably those most involved like us, I still believe it will be quite low once the weather puts off the masses of don't knows and don't really cares. .

That doesn't affect him of course, since a PM doesn't have to be elected as an MP. For example Sir Alec Douglas Hume became Tory PM for a while though not an MP, and there have been others historically. There's hope for all of you yet without losing a deposit, the pay's good and housing and...

I misunderstood the meaning of stabiliser in your post. Clearly you do mean to propel the vehicle, so that is legal since trikes are permitted, both under pedelec law and as motor vehicles by the Two and Three Wheel Type Approval law 168/2013 and Road Traffic Acts. .

Only if they were propelling the vehicle along the road. However there are other ways that motorisation can be illegal, for example it is illegal to use the roads for manufacturing and when readymix concrete trucks were first introduced long ago they fell foul of this until given a permission...

This Dutch one sold a few years ago for bikes or trikes had the works in the base, the upper half for luggage:

I've answered this sort of question many times, but here goes again: The Highway Act 1835 banned any form of locomotive from UK roads. Ever since then that has had the effect that all forms of motorised vehicles are automatically illegal unless they have a specific permission in law. Since...

That is uncalled for, I did not exaggerate. Positive is how the NHS should perform and needs no reporting. For example, potholes are reportable, smooth roads without problems are not. Indeed my eysight now has the highest possible rating, thanks to my going private at £5000. Again there was...

It was genuine, all the details given by the patient on a medical program. And I know my own experiences are genuine. Like sent for an urgent X ray which was carried out immediately. Then a ten week wait for the results due to the huge backlog of X rays to be assessed by someone. Just as...

Some do, it's a post code lottery. Only a week ago on the radio there was a man who's been waiting three and half years with greatly restricted activity for a much needed heart valve replacement. He had been scheduled a few times but each time put back for various reasons, mainly staffing or...

I think it's as much a matter of numbers though. When I walk along the busy pavements in my London borough, no-one says hello to each other. But when I walk along the 3/4 mile lane through my housing estate, encountering the occasional walker, most of us say hello with a smile, even though...

Rupert Murdoch has always insisted he maintains editorial independence. Many don't believe him, but there's often evidence of it like the above. Of course editors like to appeal to their local market to maintain the reading/viewing public on which their job depends, so that dictates their bias. .

Not their main BH brand though. BH (Beistegui Hermanos S.A.) is an entirely Spanish company with half of their production now sold into the rest of Europe. They'd earlier had wider ambitions, buying several other bike brands and forming a company known as Cycleurope, but they sold that in 1996...

I think you are being misled by a software issue Scott. See this post of mine from just over a year ago: And also this post from member Fingers, who also obviously thought Polly had just joined, but a year ago: Clearly the joining date and time evidence you both have doesn't stand up. .

You might feel they should know that, but they don't. Everything is worse than Remain in the Remainer's world, so Corbyn's strategy can get the Remain vote and they are now the majority. Conversely, Remain is worse than any way of leaving in the Leaver's world. But they are now slightly the...

Makes good sense to me. Both May's and Johnson's deals haven't been well received, but Corbyn's offer has the advantage of opting to Remain if his deal is also not well received. .

He has done. Recognising this issue was for the public to decide and not him personally, he's offering the means to do that if elected. His own view on EU membership is irrelevant, since in a public vote it's not for him to decide, so there are no colours to nail to the mast. .

Corbyn is clear, he's leaving it to the public to decide whether to take the deal he presents or remain in the EU. That makes him the honest one of the main two parties. Boris Johnson won't give the public that choice between his deal and remaining, he just wants to force Leaving, with or...
