    Brexit, for once some facts.

    In fact as I 've previously posted, Jaguar have joined forces with BMW on the mainland EU with battery research for vehicles, even setting up a small design workforce there. The warning writing is on the wall. .

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    And much as I admire Attlee's achievements, I've come to despise those too, through experience of the huge harm they've done to this country. Like Corbyn, I don't blindly accept those two American creations are good for this country, they aren't. .

    If the Vegan terrorists get their way, virtual steaks are the only ones any of us will get to eat. .

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    No, your talking bo!!ox, the French don't hunt cyclists, though on rare occasions one might get accidentally killed. It seems your mind is incapable of recognising the difference so I feel sorry for you. I'd hate to have such a poor understanding of simple language. .

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    I agree, but it's amazing how often I've heard that same story. Have farmers never heard of closing doors? Foxes can be cunning but I assure you they cannot bore through timber walls or undo bolts. We kept the maximum permitted for private use 12 chickens right through WW2 and beyond, living...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    No I did not, here is the link and it wasn't even in reply to Zlatan or yourself. I could have added the word can before eat to make it even more clear, but at no time have I said the French eat everything they hunt. My meaning was very clear, the French hunt what they can eat, not what they...

    Exactly, do that and use the minister's permission with care and common sense and there will be no problems. .

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    It has to do with the irrelevancies that you and Zlatan needlessly introduce. Remember, I merely posted the the French hunting to eat was more sensible than our hunting that we couldn't eat, that's all. If you or Zlatan wanted to disagree with that, fine, I'm ok with a different opinion. But...

    electric scooter/skateboard laws

    For goodness sake, of course you cant. I've just posted that what is in the mind alone isn't sufficient, please reread my last phrase. Didn't I just post that the danger must be present? For example a difficult to negotiate roundabout with vehicles entering and leaving at various points. Or...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    You really do post out of inadequate knowledge. Foxes only restrict themselve to nocturnal hunting when well fed enough to sleep through the day. When that isn't the case they hunt at all times until satiated. On Tuesday morning as I drove through the estate one ran across the road just in...

    electric scooter/skateboard laws

    I don't know why you are protracting this. I've already posted earlier that only the cyclist can say if they feared the traffic at a given time, so what others think is not relevant. They cannot possibly know what was in the cyclist's mind. And I've already answered your other points. Of...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    You really are incredibly ignorant of this subject, didn't I just post twice that I see foxes day and night coming though my estate? Didn't I just post a photo of that fox in daylight? The one that entered my lounge was in broad daylight. Below I've posted another photo of one eating the...

    electric scooter/skateboard laws

    I didn't say it was a clarification of the law, I said it was a qualification. Please bear in mind that the minister's statement was first made when the law was introduced in parliament in 1999, so parliament was in no doubt what the law meant. As the minister made clear, it was not directed...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    I am very well aware of that, knowing the news item just as thoroughly as you from that time. And as I mentioned, I'm also well aware of the hysteria that resulted. Why do you think I said, "weren't they aware that foxes hunt"? They'll go anywhere they think there might be food, so leaving a...

    Oh no , not cheating again !

    Indeed. I was just a utility cyclist using a bike as transport, but my brother was a keen sport cyclist, a member of a cycling club and taking part in Audax rides of up to 125 miles. But one day when chatting it transpired that I'd ridden over 5000 miles the previous year and he had not...

    electric scooter/skateboard laws

    Not normally, since they aren't creating law, they are merely qualifying how a law should be used. It's rather similar to the position of any law in a senior court. It's not the letter of the law that counts, it's the spirit of the law, what parliament intended. Remember the law they are...

    A s you well know and I've made clear, I meant sterilising by getting rid of, not taking sensible precautions. And I've said nothing about keeping all doors closed, only protecting babies due to their vulnerability. .

    I eat shot wild venison regularly, Sainsburys do nice lines in venison burghers and sausages. Very tasty, much healthier than beef and ensures culled animals don't go to waste. We don't have enough wild boar yet for a market in that, possibly never will since they are being effectively...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    The same precautions should be taken for babies with foxes around as we take with dogs, if we are sensible. They must know there are urban foxes and that foxes hunt. The obsession with sterilising all danger out of existence is ridiculous, the natural world has its rightful place and we should...
