So meat pies could get much more expensive. :( .

The UK leaving the EU isn't going to permanently reduce the EU membership after all. After decades of dispute between Greece and the country of Macedonia, a name also belonging to a large part of Greece, settlement is in sight. The country of Macedonia is to be renamed North Macedonia with...

ElectricBikeSales carry out diagnosis and repairs, your nearest branches at Oxford and Cambridge. They also have collect and return service on this web page. Make sure of costs first though of course. Although currently without an agent, I understand that Ezee will soon announce a new UK...

No, he was in fact a Guernsey man. A motorcyclist at heart, his grandson runs the Yamaha World Superbike Team, as well as the old business I worked in which is motorcycles only now. .

That's all history though, I was looking into the future, one in which the deprived regions are connected enough to be more successful. Have a listen to this fascinating 36 minute program about the possibilities for future Wales: The Dragon Next Door We need to think bigger and better and...

Indeed, I posted about the Ides of March in this thread on 15th August 2017. Link to post .

The longest journey begins with a single step. We really do need to get a move on if we are not to be left too hopelessly in the past to ever recover. I'm reminded of a reactionary boss I once worked for in the early 1950s. On seeing the first bicycle come in with a derailleur he snorted in...

Now that we are all minorities in London, even the white British born down to 46%, racial and colour discrimination have almost vanished. Those with racist inclinations have moved away long ago, thank goodness. One thing I really dislike is the outward flow of previous immigrants who have now...

I remember when I used to fly on Air France Caravelles from Heathrow to Orly they did similar, but for lunch. The stewardesses were quite literally pushing the trolley uphill in the late climb stages to get everyone served, then downhill to clear the remnants, such was the short London - Paris...

All true, but unfortunately getting people away from planes onto trains only seems to work when the train journey is very much faster, the time gain very obvious and large. Choosing to fly is too often a bad habit. Perhaps the ideal answer is to have the ultra high speed inter city train...

Though I understand the relevance of point you make, my preference is for circa 300 mph high speed since it could enable compulsory removal of most internal airline routes. That in turn would greatly reduce both additional runway needs and aircraft noise nuisance. .

Here's the latest on the damage done by the anti-dumping tariffs: Information Link .

The biggest problem may be in persuading the Chinese that we are no longer in the EU. It was Japan's insistence that we were subject to EU pedelec law that led to them sending us 250 watt bikes from 1999 on when our law was a 200 watt limit. That's what started the 13 year legal uncertainty...

Manchester is the latest city with its bike hire scheme suffering unacceptable losses. Around 10% of their hire bikes are disappearing every month and they now say if this carries on they will have to shut down the scheme. Some end up in the canal, some are destroyed by vandalism and some...

But the EU's "noisy kids" are all in the mind. Those in here posting against the EU post imaginary harm resulting from membership, yet none of them have been personally affected adversely. Some might quote the ban on throttles, without realising that they were never legally approved here...

It wouldn't have worked though. Many of the electorate have been so poisoned by anti-EU fake news from such as the Mail that they couldn't accept it could ever lead to a good outcome, That bigotry has been very evident in here, an unwillingness to ever give the EU the slightest chance by...

If true an own goal. Sadly, though Remain have the best case in my view, it's impossible to put for existing politics, so is automatically not good enough in the electorate's eyes. The grass in the next field will always be seen as greener. .

You mean Leavers? If you alter I'll delete this. .

That's a bit unfair, their advice is usually excellent. Don't you remember the Home Office cold war advice to have a stout brown paper bag handy in case of nuclear war? That was to be placed over the head to protect against being blinded by the flash of a nearby hydrogen bomb explosion. .

Although likely, not necessarily if it's not far below Ken, its always worth checking by going for a ride to see if there's useful range left. Even if not enough for your needs it could be a second battery for use while charging or as a range extender. You also asked if an out of balance...
