Those current prices are a bargain for what is on offer. .

Yes, I actually thought of you as I typed it, knowing you'd disagree. :) .

No, I haven't lost the plot, I'm just supporting the rights of minorities to have retail premises specifically supplying their own minority and having no other purpose. There's no need for English language for their customers and it's absence makes it clear to me that I'm not an intended...

I haven't painted anyone out, just said that in my day to day life and business the history is irrelevant, as it is to the whole of the rest of the country for almost all their lives. Our history is like an occasional hobby interest for many and not even that for most who only recall it on rare...

Yes, but as I said this doesn't concern or interest me during my daily business, so on a daily basis it's irrelevant to me and most others who live here. This country is far too history obsessed anyway, much of it false. .

So all the supermarkets are offending by labeling with foreign product names like salami, sauerkraut, pak choi etc? And as I said, these shops are for those peoples, the proprietors are not trying to sell to the English, nor do they have to. Once again, labelled for who they were selling to. .

I gleaned both. For a prejudical example: "That there would be signs on shop windows in different languages , Chinese and Urdu , polish etc is fine and dandy but that some of these shops would have no signs at all in English , as I noted along the edgeware road, is not." Why must they have...

That's the trouble, the two are often mutually exclusive. For example the "Prince Charles" view of architecture and history is completely incompatible with the many 21st century tower blocks we are currently erecting. It's a choice Here you have it completely wrong, in my world everybody is...

Precisely, which is why both you and Tommie are wrong in implying today's London isn't normal. In every stage of its change it has been normal. You both seem to be judging against a London long gone, much of which I say good riddance to. Some other parts of Britain need to catch up fast since...

No it doesn't matter at all to people in their normal daily lives, the distant history of a city is an irrelevance. Only that within our lifetimes is of any consequence as we go about our daily business. All I gleaned from your earlier post was prejudice. I'm delighted that we have such as...

It is advisable in this case. We already have polyurethane tyres from another company and they can need huge force to prise onto rims. Because these Schwalbe inserts will prevent the tyre bead being pushed into the rim well to facilitate fitting, again very large force will be needed to prise...

I don't just think it normal, it is normal. We British lived amongst the peoples of most of the world cultures for centuries and that was normal. Just as it's normal for those other cultures to live amongst us now. Just as it's normal for your close relatives to live in another country with a...

No London it isn't a mess, it's modern Britain, one part that's kept pace with a multicultural globally trading world. And what strange logic leads middle England to vote Brexit because London where they don't live isn't what they like? And what even stranger logic prompts your relatives to...

This isn't the problem for today's Londoners that it might appear to be, many like me like what has happened and those who didn't have largely departed. White British born Londoners are under 46% of the population now so we are all minorities and mostly happy to be. Remember, we are a...

It certainly isn't, it's mainly a city of three parts. One of poverty and food banks. One of substantial wealth, often at the obscene level. The remaining majority moderately affluent and comfortable. We inevitably suffer the same inequalities as the rest of the country, albeit far more...

That would be ignorance, some of our London boroughs are riddled with poverty and food bank dependency, even when in full time employment, such is the cost of survival here. My own borough, the largest, is one of two halves. The northern half is old, overcrowded with poor facilities, lower...

I wasn't concerned, the post content was a nice balance of plus/minus. Anyway I've got allies, my best friend of many years standing and his extended family are London Irish, lots of them holidaying in the RoI annually. .

They missed haft off the end of pedals. Language problem. :) .

Indeed, and some of our members have posted about the damage that does to their bikes. Even those living near the coast suffer salt corrosion damage. .

As well as their Italian scooter business they are mainly an ic engine maker for microlights etc, so e-power a new venture for them. Here's a link to the crank motor .
