    Brexit, for once some facts.

    Actually it's costing jobs, so not good news. Plus for Aldi is minus for Sainsburys, so some sort of balance there. But Aldi and Lidl work with less staff in many ways to do the job, so costing jobs overall. For example, Lidl insisting drivers from other companies delivering to them must...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    You're being disingenuous, a polite way of saying you are lying. Your clear implication was repeatedly that we would reach deals with Germany et al that were at least equal to what we enjoy at present. If they were not at least equal, i.e favourable, why would you have even posted that as a...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    Hair splitting, we all know what you meant, that we'd be better off with deals made when outside the EU. Your anti-EU line on this as with all other EU issues is consistent. The precise adjective used is immaterial. .

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    You've accused OG of saying you'd posted about Nice Deals or Neat Deals etc, seemingly not making your mind up which it was, and repeatedly called him a liar. You may not have used the precise words neat or nice, but OG is not lying about the meaning of your posts. You have repeatedly posted...

    Legal 50 mph electric bicycle

    Need lots of those to climb a hill with 100 kg plus to get up there, and wouldn't be very popular with pedestrians in the high street! Not too easy to express kg of thrust as kW of drive for legal purposes either. .

    Legal 50 mph electric bicycle

    Not really, the power is often expressed legally in kilowatts regardless, whether electric, petrol, diesel etc. Jet propulsion and ion drive might be problematic though! .

    Since capybaras are the biggest rodents in the world, being with Boris Johnson is consistent. .

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    Agreed, and I hope the fall in prices becomes more substantial. It will cause some chaos but the correction is long overdue. Hopefully the burnt fingers ( no pun intended) will prevent a repeat of the crazy market we've endured for so long. .

    UK petition to raise cut-off limit

    That's what most wanting higher assist speed do. It's a pity that the S class was elevated to 500 watts and 45 kph (28 mph) assist due to German public demand. Originally the S class bikes were just ordinary 250 watt pedelecs with a higher assist limit and only capable of about 20mph assist on...

    UK petition to raise cut-off limit

    You still aren't getting it. There is no provision for sport e-bikes in most of the world. There is in Switzerland, and within the EU in Germany, Denmark and The Netherlands. There they can have the S class high speed e-bikes, allowed up to 500 watts rating and up to 28 mph assist. But...

    Tricky to do, it's the title of an online game played by the Steam Community, whoever they might be. And the title of a famous 1979 feature film, that last word film a synonym of scum. And of course there's its original meaning: noun: scum a layer of dirt or froth on the surface of a liquid...

    UK petition to raise cut-off limit

    Not at all, since I know the origins of this worldwide law. It is what the legislators say it is, not what you'd like it to be It's the cycling speed the legislators see as normal for cycling as transport, the most commonly seen cycling throughout the world. Britain is an odd one out, due to...

    UK petition to raise cut-off limit

    Your last sentence shows the misunderstanding. The e-power is a concession intended as assistance for those who need it. It's not about enabling anyone to perform like a roadie, and that is specifically why there is a utility riding assist speed limit. Indeed that was spelt out by one of the...

    In 1819 UK average life expectancy was 40.5 years. In 2019 it's doubled to 80.96 years. But after continuously increasing through those two centuries, it's now stalled since 2015, some even decreasing. As if Brexit wasn't bad enough already, it's now killing people. .
