As drug companies do too. They can't even achieve 5% success. Sure, driverless cars are real, I even have one if I select the function. But the circumstances where I can totally depend on it are so limited I don't bother with it. Driving a good purpose designed e-car like mine is so...

Multiple fantasies I'm afraid. People mostly want to travel by day, and that's when the most current is needed from the grid. So you can't have it both ways, the cars in use and suppying the grid at the same time. Nor could the people all travel by night, since that's when most of the...

Yes, as I posted. But it's not Central London residents who provide all the traffic, most of it is in or comes from outer boroughs and outside London. We will not see automated cars running round most of London in the near future, such as the ten years of this discussion about e-car adoption...

I think not, and personal e-cars support the grid in the same way anyway, they already do in Denmark. But I think you underestimate the public fury at losing their cars. .

It's rather wasteful without very intimate contact, but apart from that I think the way our streets are with so much infrastructure already in them, like sewers, water, electricity and gas supplies and those repairs needed will be a big restriction. .

I've given a disagree to the self driving automated cars which won't surprise you. It isn't going to happen on almost all of London's streets. But I agree that the number of London cars will reduce, it already has been falling for a long while now, but that's been due to the big expansion in...

Of course it's impossible, it's already proving impossible to even meet existing demand for e-cars with waiting lists everywhere. I got in quick with ordering the new Nissan Leaf, but had to wait six months and at the point I received mine German dealers were quoting one year. Large scale...

Whilst there's some truth in that, I'd rather a politician takes time to carefully consider issues than give slick avoiding answers to the media. She is a true socialist at heart and far more capable in that caring capacity than most realise. That's why her constituency makes her seat so...

Diane Abbott successfully held office in the best London Government we've ever had, Ken Livingstone's very popular one. As a history graduate her strengths are more philosophical, so not unsuited to the Home Office where any calculation is done by the civil service rather than the minister...

It's occasionally both interesting and informative on how much or how little some know on various subjects. And having started the thread 2698 web pages ago, I like to keep an eye on how it's going. .

I don't know their hub motor that the OP has, only aware of the TransX crank drive unit. Andrew's advice was generic for hub motors. .

I checked after your previous post and that is indeed what's shown, but it seems something's wrong. It certainly isn't five days since I logged into find a block of 16 alerts, mostly from Rob. He certainly isn't around today, maybe he's gone on holiday without arranging a stand-in to post...

The whole welfare state is a national insurance scheme set up by the first post WW2 government. No taxed money is hypothecated, it all goes into and comes out of a central pool. .

But one can argue that is correct and as it should be, something not often appreciated. All this comes under national insurance, and with insurance, those who pay the premiums are the beneficiaries when they suffer misfortune. No-one else pays or benefits. Those with great wealth will never...

This link is to the advice from Andrew Harvey on how to test your motor. .

France and Germany have rather higher minimum wages, £10.03 and £9.19 respectively. Under 18s are excluded from the German minimum age regulations, so no idea what they get. I think most there will be in education or apprenticeships, given Germany's education and work policies. In France...

He was, I saw the TV cutting of him mentioning £4.35 an hour, an under 18 rate as this post mentions. .

Corbyn did mention £4.35 an hour, so he was clearly speaking of the under 18s. Here's the minimum wage structure: Minimum wage rates from April 2019 25 and over: £8.21 21-24: £7.70 18-20: £6.15 Under-18: £4.35 Apprentice: £3.90 Despite the rules, a few of the under 18s are in employment with...

Only the Leavers get dislikes, we Remainers get plenty of likes from him. .

Farage say he wants to replace the NHS with an insurance scheme. That alone shows his political incompetence. How well do you think that will go down in this country when publicity is given to his desire to shut down the NHS, given how jealously the electorate guards it? .
