I don't see unions as either good or bad, they are just necessary. But like all necessary things they should be used in moderation. .

I didn't say it was. The decline was of what I listed during the two previous decades , taking us to the early 1970s when the IMF came in to rescue us from bankruptcy by a regime of strict financial control through that decade. .

You started with this falsehood, we were very much in dire straights. Having lost our cycle, motorcycle, motor, much of our shipbuilding and aircraft industries with the loss of our captive Empire market and our commercial shipping, we were in trouble. So much so that the IMF had to step in to...

Agreed, I've long forecast in here that the Ellesmere Port plant will probably go. Part of the industry's overcapacity is PSA's with three plants able to produce Opel/Vauxhall Astras, the main Opel factory in Germany, a spare low operating cost one in Hungary, and Ellesmere Port which has been...

Indeed. The Reith Lectures this year on BBC Radio 4 were given by Jeremy Sumption, the recently retired ex Supreme Court judge. He started in the first of the five lectures by being critical of the way the law has been increasingly involved in politics and that theme returned thoughout the...

The daft thing is Darren that it probably took them longer to write the note than it took to get their bike out! A bad mood indeed, bad enough to make their own life more difficult. .

That wouldn't happen by design and the controller has no effect on balancing, which is solely the domain of the BMS. The BMS uses a tiny bit of battery power to run and on cheap ones it's on all the time and is often taken from one end cell, so this can result in that being low in voltage...

I also love the countryside and that's why although central London born and bred, I moved out to the fringe very long ago. I'm in London with all its advantages, but as I turn my head sideways to the left I'm looking through my lounge windows at the Surrey Border trees with country all the way...

Proving that you do not understand what balanced means. Your version is biased, excluding what you don't like. Here's the dictionary definition: "taking everything into account; fairly judged or presented." "accurate and balanced information" synonyms: fair, equitable, just, unbiased...

I think the most likely possibility is that the cells in the battery were out of balance when you first received it, resulting in it having low voltage so both slower and weaker performing, At each charge the battery's own internal BMS* takes the battery to full charge and then balances the...

Of course the countryside is safer than a city, it only contains 14% of the population, but that's no reason to regularly unjustifiably pick on London as you, some others and the media do. Birmingham, Liverpool, Leeds, Bradford and many other cities are also far more dangerous than the...

I was not discussing this thread when I posted the pedelecs forum has members with all views, so it's balanced. All are free to post in this thread and if those who chose to don't suit you is just your bad luck. And this statemnt of yours below proves how balanced the pedelecs forum is overall...

Yet another swipe at London which you hate for it's success in finance and multiculture . And nonsense in every respect: You have no idea why they moved out and its a normal annual number anyway. You have no idea how many moved in. And it's Birmingham which is by far Britain's knife town...

Liar, I clearly said the pedelecs forum was impartial. I made no such claim for this thread, that is your fabrication. .

Pre senile dementia? That worked for Ernest Saunders to get him out of prison. .

Irrelevant. The pedelecs forum is politically balanced and all members are free to join this thread. Whether they do or not and the politics of those who do is immaterial since thread entry is not conditional. In contrast the DM doesn't cater for all in a balanced way, it's grossly pre biased...

Of course it did, the biased Daily Mail is of like mind with its readership. This non political pedelecs forum is not pre biased and the cyclist members have all shades of opinion. A balanced place to post in. .

I made no comment about that. The unspeakable cruelty is the conditions on those offshore detention camps and the fact of their illegal imprisonment. The legal and humane options are either to accept them or promptly transport them to their origins, Vietnam in many cases. Punishing by...

It's perfectly ok to park on and lock to both sides Darren, done all the time in my area. That note writer was clearly a selfish person, your bike on the other side could hardly have inconvenienced them to any degree. .

And unspeakably cruel. .
