I haven't had any contact since my post on this link, this at the time of Frank leaving this forum in 2014. I was still mentioning Xipi with link up to March 2017 and no-one mentioned failure to contact, so any closure would probably have been very recent. .

Not to mention the cross channel electricity cables. We are less separated by the ditch that the channel is, than France and Italy are separated by the Alps. .

Which was entirely the fault of Greece, few countries have ever behaved so irresponsibly. .

It's not so much the riders being seconds, it's the Tour of Britain that's very much a second rating event. .

Often a pair with a valve and 67.5 volt battery! .

True, though in many cases it's little more than selfish. .

It's about equalisation. Richer countries pay in more than the poorer countries with the eventual aim of fiscal and eventually full union and a common living standard. ,

50cycles sell them, so back to square one for Paul I'm afraid. .

Possibly a slightly less advanced but nicer world? .

Just another Brexit cost. .

You really are confused. It was Blair's New Labour administration that ruled the country so it was very relevant. The Labour party governed nothing other than itself, so that was administratively irrelevant. It was just the Trojan horse that Blair used to get power, then discarding its...

But when viewed correctly through fullness of information, not so much shades of grey as black and white. Do you really think Blair's New Labour administration was remotely like Keir Hardy's trade union based Labour one? James Callaghan's was much nearer the mark and radically different from...

Momentum is the labour party of Keir Hardy, they didn't have to take it over since it was already their heritage, the trade union based party that Hardy founded in 1900. It was never the property of Blair's New Labour, it was he who took it over for his own ends to create New Labour. .
