I use bells and have tried horns, but on shared use paths when approaching someone from behind, I usually just cycle slowly and say a cheerful "Good Morning/Afternoon". If they have to step aside to let me pass I add "Sorry to inconvenience you" with a smile. That usually gets a very good...

Which is why German companies trade so successfully with the rest of the world as well as the EU. Their products are in every country worldwide. They manage it so why can't we? That's a rhetorical question, the truth is we don't because we are not good enough and we still won't be good...

Of course, the penny has just dropped with your mention of the 35. Boris and co. were right about their aim for £350 millions painted on the bus, once they'd wrested control from the EU. It's 10 millions each! .

Our type 45 destroyers may be a metaphor for Brexit, when they venture into mid atlantic they break down and have to be towed back! .

Agreed they can, but I was speaking of the Dutch cyclists attitudes and the fact that their police are mostly not inclined to interfere. Just look at the video I posted and it shows how unconcerned the riders are about any possibility of police action, including riding hands off. As for...

These are the bits I see as not working, the administrative complexities would be immense and the costs high. And the N.I border is as leaky as a colander. I'd be very surprised to see any such deal between the EU and the UK, apart from anything else it would be a concession to an EU Leaver...

Of course the Dutch have it right, their success with cycling shows that's the case. Basically the Dutch see cycling as no different from walking, it's just a way to get from A to B. Just as walking isn't buried in enforced restrictive laws, cycling is the same to any Dutch person. They cycle...

But that's the impossibility, leaves an open back door into the EU from whatever free trade sources we obtain. Worse still, one of our new free trade sources could conflict with an existing EU agreement with that country. Trying to permit CU and FTAs by catering for all the specific objections...

Vandalising the bike's electrics is very unlikely, never heard of a case here in London. The main problem is theft of the whole bike, if they can't take it they tend to leave it alone. I can't answer the Euston Station question, I'm not familiar with those racks or their position. .

Before considering the possibility of more power, it's best to be aware of the implications of it being a torque controlled system. To get the maximum available power, whether increased or not, your wife will still have to put in the same continuous effort as at present. So a power increase...

I doubt it at present, we still seem to be at the stage of business leaders repeatedly asking the government for more clarification. The stated political position seems clear enough, no customs union and no single market, but I have the impression that business leaders can't envisage or believe...

You're in rower, riding on Seymour Court Lane. Map Link .

Normal events, and nothing compared to the chaotic mess of current UK politics. .

He's floundering in trying to undo the damage he's done to himself. It's obviously dawned on him that backing Brexit has changed his former widespread popularity into one where half the country, the Remainers, despise him. That means if he achieves his ambition of becoming prime minister, his...

It's currently rather more likely that the EU could threaten Poland and Hungary with expulsion. They certainly won't be wanting them in the eurozone with their present behaviour. .

Thinking about it, I suppose its a naturally evolved ability. We've been walking and running randomly and in groups for countless years without bumping into each other. Behavioural evolution is very much quicker than physical and the way we walk in conflicting directions and speeds in densely...

No it won't unite us. We Remainers are the patriotic loyalists, we voted to support 44 years of government decisions on the EU. The Leavers were traitors, opposed to all those democratic government decisions and splitting the country into two factions, planting the seeds of a civil war. .

They attempt it in the Middle East too, blindfold:

That's good, just like their financial forecasts. .

Only yesterday the government announced their internet scanning software to pick out terrorist related coded discussion. Looks like you're first on their list. :eek: .
