But it could just as easily happen here. If you're old enough like me, you'll remember that when we were young the idea of using a knife on another person was unthinkable. That was what dagos and spics did, no English person would or even could do something so cowardly. And as for kicking...

Well, got to keep the arms trade buoyant, it's in the interests of all the arms producing countries. Where would we all be without expensive means of delivering and causing explosions, it scarcely bears thinking about. We'd have to produce cheap useful things like food, clothing and low cost...

With short range and where to charge problems I think it's a daft idea. This is definitely an application for petrol bikes, pollution is irrelevant in conditions where firearms or explosives may be used. .

Exactly, it's the way people are. Take the constant obesity warnings that started more than a decade ago. Then we could see there were a lot of fat people. Now we still see a lot of fat people, probably more than before. Ergo, warnings are a waste of time, just as true for every other...

When already affected they don't need telling. Those who won't be told make it pointless telling them. Those who already know don't need telling The rest of us not at risk don't need telling. So there's no point in the warnings, they're just scare stories. .

Then they need to pull their fingers out. I'm on a quoted three month waiting list for a Nissan model and still as yet no indication of when it might be delivered. A few years back I had a wait of nearly the same for another Nissan model, so it seems old habits die hard. .

Whilst I agree, whether it happens is dependent on densities of ethnic peoples. As you know in London we tend to have areas where each nationality group and the use of native languages makes more sense then. That can soon lead to it becoming a habit everywhere, and the same happens in...

We live in an increasingly neurotic age and our politicians and public servants are mainly to blame for this, ably assisted by the media. Anything that might be in any way a threat is hyped and exaggerated, For example Theresa May saying publically that over 130 people in Salisbury might be...

And most of that 2 out of 5 also speak at least some English. I wonder how many of the 3 out of 5 English speakers also speak Russian or an Eastern European language? .

Not British, but we'll soon have European alloy frames from Portugal, a low cost country: Information link .

The biggest flaw of all was named in the conclusion of a very long discussion between my brother and I well over a decade ago. Our conclusion was that the integration with the EU had gone so far back then that leaving the EU was a practical impossibility. With more than a decade of further...

It certainly is very unfair, but unfortunately also fully defensible. The grounds being that they were the elected government, that was government policy, also the opposition's policy, supported by the 1975 referendum and both being voted into power in subsequent general elections following the...

This is a freewheel for threading attachment, not a cassette. The SRAM twistgrip shifters work with derailleurs, I've long used the 6 speed but here's the 5 speed one. Don't know about 5 speed lever shifters.

I strongly disagree Zlatan. Cameron was a committed remainer and campaigned hard for that. When it turned out he'd got this extremely important issue wrong he did the accepted honourable thing and resigned. To implement something this important that he didn't believe in would have been wrong...

Exactly, they're nearly all as bad, with news reporting biased to what they perceive is their side. You might find it odd given my defence of Russia on some issues, but I never watch RT, despite sampling many news sites on major news items. Al Jazeera is much more reliable, perhaps the most...

Your's isn't a common case though, most e-bikers don't ride anything like such distances. Way back in 2011 two of our members started to set up a new scheme called Cyclecharge, registered the company and with the help and donations from members started to set up charge points based on various...

The one you showed with no rear number plate mount will be ok for the UK, just like the Scott. .

He is a politician, and bright new entrants are often found to be lacking later. I'm reserving judgment on him until I see some results. So far it's been little other than talk and some cracks have been showing. The big difference for JC is that the media will do him down whatever he does. .

When I looked up the I10, this was what Kalkhoff showed: https://www.kalkhoff-bikes.com/en/bikes/2018/e-bikes/e-trekking/kalkhoff-integrale-speed-i10.html Somewhat different and confusing with the same model number. Your link doesn't seem to say UK legal or if it's 250 watts, but it probably...

They'll be looking to cut by 40%. :( As you posted, our constitution won't allow a new party or even JC to follow Macron. Every previous attempt has failed. Without proportional representation we just can't adopt the best methods of the EU countries. Basically our political leaders and...
