To me PESCO makes a lot of sense. With the present lack of co-operation between countries defence provisions, Europe doesn't present an effective deterrent against an attack. It has a mixture of duplications and yawning gaps. Co-ordination is obviously the answer and can ultimately avoid...

No, it was for FIAT's tax avoidance through FIAT Finance via Luxembourg, jointly condemned with Starbucks at the time. No-one wants to check out FIAT quality control, finding a fault is one thing, opening a whole can of worms another thing entirely. ;) .

Beware, the Roadster HS may not be type approved so could be difficult to impossible to register. Check out the R & M HS models on the 50cycles web site and you'll see the other models have number plate mountings and the necessary lights etc that go with motor vehicle approval.. The Roadster...

Regulations and logic rarely coincide. .

Seems like a good EU measure to me, since it's clear at least one national authority has completely failed in its duties. .

It will be worse than that, since 2008 affected every country so we all slid down together. Brexit will only affect us to any extent, so we go down while the rest of the world just carries on as usual. .

The first of the TX-E cabs has started working in London today and is rated very highly by the driver and passengers. Not just quiet but very comfortable suspension and luxuriously equipped, including a huge panoramic glass roof which should please sight-seeing tourists. From January only...

Overload, stresses bearings. Trapping the cat or one of the kids inside, dents the drum. Absent-mindedly fill the washing powder receptacle from the Polyfilla pack, seizes up everything. .

Welcome to the forum Steve, you've made a good choice and Wisper support is excellent though rarely needed. Most local bike dealers will be able to attend to all the bicycle side of things, some used to be a bit sniffy about e-bikes but most these days have accepted they are here to stay. The...

What it means is that we stay in the EU while pretending we aren't in it any more. It keeps the natives quiet. .

They aren't even in charge in Ireland, with no Assembly sitting they're just hanging around and making mischief. Truly the Devil finds work for idle hands. .

Tea-shock is closer, with the emphasis on the Tea and slightly more gutteral ck ending. .

Which as I've said is just one of many reasons why I believe there will be an agreement. The DUP are making lots of noise at present but their bluff can easily be called. The same goes for the Tory right 35, when it comes to the crunch they won't kill this government, knowing it could well let...

We'll have to wait until their rules are applied to see what will be affected and by how much. It's not a simple blanket percentage to be added, they have to check if a product is being unfairly discounted by subsidies under their rules. .

As I forecast in this post, it seems the Spanish have realised that Belgium was unlikely to co-operate over the Catalonia issue. The Spanish have now withdrawn the extradition request, so the rebel Catalonian leader and his group can stay safely in Belgium or freely travel elsewhere. .

Associated matter, the EU have approved the anti-dumping measure on Chinese e-bikes. See this link .

The EU have approved the anti-dumping measures, they come into force on the 20th December. Link .

Well there's sexist and racist, but you're alphabetist: You've got 25 Kph but want 25 Mph. ;) .

Just the half where we sell to them, but not the half where they sell to us? ;) .

I've always said that up to 10% is a slope, from there up to the practical limit they're hills. .
