    Evans Cycles is urgently seeking a buyer

    Evans' situation is similar to the HoF and Debenhams - having to cope with ever increasing costs and decreasing margin. The trend is toward less impulse purchase. Customers come into their shops to look at interesting models then shop on the internet. Blaming customers' behaviour is not the...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    I watched BBCQT last night. Camilla Tominey of the Telegraph made an ironic remark. As the margin is small, some says we should be half in half out. If the result was the other way, would they say we should half leave?

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    I think the biggest problem is the balance of payments. Investors, not just foreigners, will take their money out of the UK by any means. The BoE will be forced to defend the Pound against a tsunami of selling. There is no way a sane government can just let the country fall off the cliff.

    No. the government runs the HoC business so the opposition MPs alone can't initiate a new law to force the government's hand.

    yes but there is no majority in the HoC at the moment to support this idea.

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    when the tick-tock stops, we are out of the EU without the withdrawal treaty, we will trade on WTO terms but may have to negotiate from January some immediate arrangements to keep pilots flying and truck drivers working, medicine, food, electricity etc. and a hard Irish border.

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    we can live with Canada or even WTO deal while negotiating a permanent deal with the EU and rest of the world - that's not the problem, but we need to pay the divorce bill and have some transition period. Without signing the withdrawal treaty with the EU, it will be chaos for months.

    no, lots of people do that. The spoke magnet being much closer, has a field strength much, much greater that what leaks out of the motor.

    Why are used e-bikes worth so little?

    post the highest PX offer here, I am pretty sure that one of us will better that.

    I agree. A gradual change over, starting by free teaching, medical and nursing degree courses for example.

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    his offer of free university tuition got the welcome it deserves but he should have said that he only intends to reform the student loans and take over the student loan company, not forgive the student debt. He left the qui pro quo to after the election. That's less good.

    TM must have done something right. the Pound climbs all morning. It's at $1.33 now. Philip Hammond can relax, foreigners are not taking their money out just yet.

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    unlikely scenario though. Firstly, JC may be PM but he's not the only minister. Secondly, their budget is only about 6% more than the tories'. It's big but not enough to bankrupt the UK. Most of the 6% extra budget will be spent on wages and easily recovered/recycled through the normal...

    I wouldn't bet on it. Even if we leave the EU by then, I reckon we would still hang on to the SM.
