It goes back much further, the random mass issuing of credit cards in the 1970s started the habit of getting deeply into debt. The first personal debt crisis resulting from that was the 1980 Thatcher recession. Then she stupidly allowed council house tenants to buy their homes at huge...

The French have. They can really get tough when it suits. .

Very similar for me Tillson. I first bought long before you but the ratios similar. The property was 5.9 times my income and I'd saved from 19 years old on and had accumulated enough over several years by living at bare existence standards to pay a 25% deposit. As you rightly say, today's...

You can read about S-pedelecs on this link Some are quite discreet looking like this Stromer at a high price. Paying less usually mean the e-bike aspect is more obvious as with this Haibike speed pedelec. .

Due to the size they are more limited in capacity though. Running on motor at 30mph or more really eats the current fast, possibly around 30Wh per mile. The larger one on this link (648 Wh) is about as big as you'll get in bottle format and might give you about 20 miles at full speed. It's...

And on the wrong side too, not facing the oncoming traffic. She was probably wanting to avoid the snow covered pavement, but walking on the other side would have been safer. .

With 30 mph capability and decent run time, the battery will have to be too large to be hidden. There's an example you can look at but still with only up to a claimed 20 miles range at 15mph on this link At 30mph the range will be far less. You'll notice they advise it's not suitable for road...

I can't foresee the future, but I can project the past. Given human nature, that's usually a quite reliable substitute for foresight. .

Beware the Ides of March. .

It won't. Even if remaining in the EU we were facing a path of continuing austerity since we couldn't live on ever increasing debt indefinitely. But leaving the EU means a future of austerity plus. .

The question has two meanings: If you mean "What doesn't China/Hong Kong make?", then very little, they make almost everything other than certain low volume high tech items. But if you mean what do others have that China/Hong Kong hasn't made, then it's an immense range of items. Most of the...

Welcome to the pedelec forum Dave. What bike did you buy? .

I've seen that previously and my view remains that it was a very obvious whitewashing. The BSE committee "suggests" 1970s origins and the inclusion of stats of different forms of BSE overseas decades after our original problem are fairly obvious pointers. .

. Electronic gaming is so last millennium. :p .

The centre connector of the battery is the feed to the LCD. .

Leave it, save yourself. :eek: .

It was our government economising that resulted in vets disappearing from many abbatoirs and also led to the BSE crisis when they reduced the required heat treatment temperature for meat entering the animal feed part of the food chain. No EU involved in those, so I agree that I can't see any...

Of course employers are responsible for many aspects of an employee's welfare while they are working for them. When employers fall short they even can find themselves in court. The "strange world" I live in included my being an employer for decades, and thankfully for my employees I was one...

That's quite a small load. Here's a big one:

Yes, it an oddity in the law that trikes can have the compulsory two bicycle brakes on the front wheel. Most single front wheel trikes have been like that for many years. As d8veh has posted, these large wheel trikes are very dangerous on bends or even on uneven surfaces. They're rather...
