And of course the current private health providers also offer a GP service, usually next day appointment priced by duration from £50 to £75 for five minutes to over £300 for long consultations. We also have a 7 day a week walk-in service in London and Manchester from this company...

Could also be a safety factor though, Harold Shipman would have hated the idea. .

That motor may be the usual 8 wire type, 3 for the phase windings and 5 for the Hall sensors, but I can't be certain since they also made a variant that was an electrical front brake for the bike. However, the motor doesn't determine what battery connections are used, it's the separate...

A little bit more of the insidious privatisation and reduction of care of the health service. Like many for some while I've booked prescriptions and GP appointments online, this service being delivered by a private company, EMIS Health, on behalf of many GPs. Now they've added the following...

My "Dislike" was for your claim that they are not impartial, not for whatever you imagine. One needs to be impartial to recognise impartiality, and where the BBC is concerned you are very far from impartial in your judgment. I'll happily agree with you that there are times when the Beebs...

Perhaps the most dramatic contrast in annual sales of pedelecs is with the Netherlands where annual pedelecs sales are one per 56 of the entire population of any age. Here in the UK it's one per 1320 in the best recent years. .

All of which was caused by Margaret Thatcher and her obsession with privatising everything and wanting the BBC to follow a commercial model. She appointed her stooge Marmaduke Hussey as BBC chairman to do her dirty work. Previously BBC chairmen from Lord Reith all the way to David Attenborough...

There's also been several German ones with a similar single boom frame, one I remember had provision to carry a case centrally under the main spar. Most of these unusual designs don't stay long on the market. .

The 14 years old law is uniquely a UK nanny state measure. When those who rule us woke up to the fact that from 1983, kids could ride bikes at 15 mph with a terrifying 200 watts of power assistance, they added the 14 years old lower limit to the Road Traffic Act 1988 but not to pedelec law...

If they want to be crucified. .

The great majority of viewers use Freeview or Freesat and don't pay for subscription services, and a licence is necessary to operate a broadcast TV receiver anyway. Since those services include the BBC channels, I can't see your grounds for saying the BBC is doomed. Eventually everything seen...

Hi Darren. I know the design you mean and it was produced in more than one style and form but all had rear suspension. The one I know had a backrest seat for the child on the rear and they had their own chainwheel and pedals sharing the chain drive to the back wheel, while the adult rider sat...

There is a world of difference between possessing high intelligence and using it. .

Exactly the same, I'm always engaged in something. ,

Snap, exactly matching my Mensa score. The third sentence describes me, especially the solitude. Is it also true of you? .

By East Germans no doubt. Reminds me of the most popular jokes in the former USSR, like this one: "Why do KGB men go around in threes? One can read, one can write and the third one is there to keep an eye on the two dangerous intellectuals." .

Who did you get for that, Tony Blair, Jacob Rees Mogg, Nigel Farage? .

Exodus, Brexit. I see parallels. .

Pig farms are notoriously smelly. .

They let their motoring customers do that. .
