    Hello Pedelecs

    That's much less powerful than the Santana and the battery is less than half the capacity, so much shorter range. With the optional 17 Ah battery which is just over the Santana's it costs £949, almost the same price but with that less powerful motor. However, if its standard little 7 Ah...

    Hello Pedelecs

    I would also have been recommending you look at Woosh for your details, but they beat me too it! The law on recent bike's throttles is widely ignored, but with the Santana you have the option. In fact the DfT preferred to have throttles continued with the UK's 2015 change in the law, but they...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    Agreed and no doubt at least some of that export continued, though the program made the point about ships collecting rather than us shipping out, an important point. But that's a local Cornish thing, hardly applying across the country considering the limited scale of such trading by boats of...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    But using artifacts that were Roman or imported by Romans and in a single rich person's home. That was too narrow and the artifacts too ill defined to be regarded as definitive for the population at large. The wider aspects across the country largely concerned the immigrants I mentioned, who...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    I watched it and I think you've conveniently read far too much into it. The broken artifacts giving rise to the evidence were largely Roman or from the Roman times, not the Dark Ages. It applied only to a tiny spot in Cornwall and was based on a single wealthy person's dwelling. The evidence...

    I had no idea he was suffering from dementia. And what a foolish woman as the Romans quickly demonstrated. All irrelevant, I was posting about the country, not individuals. The country of Britannia and the numerous Britons who co-operated prospered greatly from the Roman occupation. When...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    Here's simple! The last time we departed from the EU it was a disaster, the economy collapsed and so did the culture. Well within 100 years even writing disappeared and it took several hundred years before missionaries from other countries started to return the country to what it had been...

    Not if they can vote online from their smartphones! :) Joking apart I think enough 16 to 18 year olds would vote to make a real difference. Especially those in cities who have many concerned multi-racial friends and fellow students. .

    New oldie

    Sounds good then. Don't worry, batteries very rarely fail suddenly, they usually just decline in range, and when they start cutting out on hills, just switch off and then on again and use more gently until it becomes too irksome. Then it's new battery time. Don't buy another one too early...
