That's the cost of Brexit so far, the money we use to buy what we need from elsewhere has lost a quarter of it's value. Adding tariffs will only make us even worse off in future. .

Yet another person who hasn't a clue what the Stockholm syndrome is. .

In fairness to the European manufacturers, it was Panasonic Japan who started this. When they introduced their crank drive unit for other bicycle makers in 2001 they recognised that cycle shops would have no appropriate repair experience. So they made the unit very strong and sealed for life...

I'm sure the thinking here is that cars stopping won't be stuck out behind into the lane they are exiting, blocking that traffic. But as you say, the drivers aren't stopping anyway. In my area there's one roundabout dangerous to cyclists which has a bypass route on the right, crossing the...

These were made by the Central Office of Information which was closed by the government for economy reasons seven years ago this coming Sunday, 30th December. The information film function is being left to independent organisations and companies, so we still see a few on such as rail safety...

It's a degree of balance, the Guardian in favouring the EU is no more extreme than the rest who are mostly anti EU. .

Indeed, but with only between one and three channels to choose from in the early days it wasn't too stressful. Just imagine a smart TV with 200 plus channels and no remote control. o_O .

Going to New Posts first gave me three posts and I viewed two of them. Then going to What's New gave me the same three posts, which New Posts wouldn't have done. It would have only showed me the one not read. That's the only difference I've seen, What's New not taking into account those I've...

I've given the answer on the difference above, on this link .

Here's a screenshot of your own post with all the smileys showing after I clicked on the smiley icon on a PC, so not sure what's happening on your kit:

And I have no trouble seeing them all on a PC. .

Politicians are used to insults, but I think Michael Gove would object to being referred to as fish food. :) And would you want to eat a fish containing bits of Gove? .

It's about numbers in Britain. 30 million cars and vans often costing tens of thousands and owners paying several hundred for annual services and MOTs. Around 200 thousand e-bikes actually in use, costing a fraction of a car on average and most owners not wanting to pay for annual services...

Yes of course, the last thing we want is for our oceans to be polluted. ;) .

Hi gaza, we usually use just the first part of the post code for privacy, but I've placed you riding on Goshen Road: Map Link .

Goverment policy is in the direction of The Netherlands, but as ever we do things half-heartedly at best, usually much worse. London is where the greatest effort and expenditure is made, but it's still minimal, blighted by the age of the city with often narrow overcrowded streets, poor layouts...

Very true, particularly for pedestrians as well as cyclists. Motor vehicle drivers are bullies, all others are the bullied. And it's difficult for drivers to opt out of that role, since the roads and rules are constructed in this way. Only this afternoon when driving I saw something I hate...

That's not quite the same though. For example, I just used the New Posts link which showed me three posts. I then visited two of them. Then I tried your Latest Posts link and that showed me the same three posts again, including the two I'd already seen. A refresh didn't correct that. .

Don't know what generation name I am, from the mid 1930s. Just history I suppose! .

True, but like so much in our modern life there are complexities, I live on a 3000 home estate designed in the early 1960s and built between 1965 and 1974. Almost every home has a garage in a separate block, just a few exceptions have a car port. Trouble is, cars in the 1950s and early...
