Er, sorry but while you weren't paying attention a few years back... sorry to break it to you like this at such an awkward moment. :oops:

Well almost all my riding is done across a national border and on the other side they are no fun. So I wear a helmet (no problem now I have an expensive comfortable one) and all the equipment on the bike is to EU spec. I don't have much money, certainly not enough to throw away in fines and...

Tilson said he was off for a while. My guess is buying property in the Dordogne, I can't see him as the Costa del Sol type... :D

And the winner of understatement of the day is (drum roll)... This is going to make a great film I bet Hollywood is working on it already. But will it be a comedy or a political drama? Who will play the role of the 1%?

Wet blanket time again: In the UK, the regulations governing bicycle lights are set out in the Road Vehicles Lighting Regulations 1989 and their subsequent amendments, summarized in the Highway Code. The regulations require a white front light, a red rear light, a red rear reflector, and...

Now if you are in the Euro zone... oh wait... Something the EU has done well is insurance, and phone roaming charges, and... sorry I'll go take my pills now! But seriously since insurance competition has been opened up rates have gone down and coverage has gone up. Last time I went to modify...

Maybe Monty Python will reform? That would be something positive... And I am not saying that some of you aren't doing very funny impersonations of English people doing silly walks :rolleyes:

Magura hydraulic rim brakes have a quick release lever. I know, oh the complication of releasing two quick release levers instead of one :rolleyes:

The price of Cheddar has gone down in the supermarket :) Converted some more pounds to dollars yesterday on paypal :( The ups and downs of an announced Brexit :rolleyes:

Bloody Multistars that aren't in stock in the EU warehouse and you lot have heaps in stock... And they don't ship from the UK warehouse whereas the EU warehouse ships them to Ireland grumble grumble... That battery setup does look pretty nasty but well protected lipos are less likely to get...

PS The Calais camp predates the refugee crisis, it has be going on for years now.

Correction: Schengen didn't guard its borders France doesn't have borders with Schengen countries. So I guess they didn't fly in because France does guard its borders with non Schengen countries such as the UK. If you watched the news you would know that these people are entering via Greece...

You have side stepped my question: Why the UK when they have been offered places to stay elsewhere? As for why you haven't sent bureaucrats to treat each person and say "Yes" or "No" to whether they can migrate to Britain, well one day that is going to blow up when the people of Calais and...

It is very badly explained here what the EU is useful for and right wing politicians tend to say "oh it isn't us it's the EU to blame". Sound familiar? Called "passing the buck" in what flec calls English... :p So basically if your washing machine breaks down then it is the EU's fault...

And before you get your knickers in knots Avis is incorporated in the USA not in France so we know where the surcharge comes from.

It is well documented that they have decided to go to the UK. They have been offered asylum in other countries and less than 6% have said they may accept going to another country. Why the UK should be the question you are asking. Apparently come hell or high water including truck highjacking...

The official population of the Camp in Calais as of July is 7,300. Let's say that is off by 100% so less than 15,000 people fleeing war, famine god only knows what.

Are you are insinuating that the French aren't doing their job and stopping them from getting into the trucks? Or that the truck drivers scared silly by the fines and the risk of being sacked aren't controlling their trucks? When I look at the state of Calais there are quite a few that aren't...
