    Brexit, for once some facts.

    Another confusion. Legal and the right thing for Britain. In our national interest. Or on humanitarian grounds for the protection of those in Syria? Of course, these are not wholly incompatible. But the justification used swings between them depending on who the target audience is.

    18650 Waterproof Battery Pack Case

    Have got a waterproof battery pack for my front light. It works, yes, but I am not exactly thrilled by its life. Thinking about getting a box and bunging some 18650s in it. But the more I look, the less I understand. Keep checking reviews and so many have a mix of awful and wonderful. That's...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    It all depends on how the chlorinated compounds are delivered. If, as appears, they have been used in Syria, it is easy to condemn and to expect others to do so. But when they are delivered in our food and drink, the guilty parties just gain greater profits.

    When to give way..

    Streetview of the other end of that road shows why an ebike is essential for the likes of me! It is also a real problem if anyone is driving in the opposite direction. :)...

    When to give way..

    This is where I regularly have someone right on my tail - and I need to turn right which is actually a two-way road. Further, I have to be absolutely crawling in case anyone is driving out of that junction. They often do...

    That the protection afforded them so far did not (it appears) prevent something very unpleasant happening to them.

    Riddle time. According to my DNA, I am mostly Irish, a bit Scots, a bit English and a few little bits from France and the middle east. Just how Anglo-Saxon am I?

    EV4 Electric bikes.

    With the advent of LED traffic lights, I wish they had gone further and made them different shapes as well as colours. For example, red octagon, orange vertical bar, green circle. And wherever there is any form of turn, use an arrow shape. No - I haven't thought it through fully, but some sort...

    EV4 Electric bikes.
