    Dowsing for Water

    I would certainly challenge the water compny in the same circumstances, and refuse to have any work done without proof of a leak. Dowsing is not that proof, since theres not a shred of scientific evidence that it works. It might do, but might do isn't evidence for spending anyone's money...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    But the important thing is yours shows the 2017 peak almost equalling those of the 1992 and 2008 recessions. So the move to Brexit has brought us to recession bankruptcy levels, haven't heard Theresa May, any Tory MPs or Brexiters mention that. .

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    The C of E has long been known as "The Tory party at Prayer", so by all means part one. But why build mosques, swapping one delusion for another? .

    Making it up again Zlatan. Where do you get motorists from, I'm one and have two cars. And Northerners and patriots, where have I criticised all of them? .

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    That's simplistic. The referendum was about the issue of our existing membership of the EU, whether we should leave. It wasn't about joining the EU, we already were members. Some 37% of the electorate voted to leave, while some 35% voted to stay. Since the remaining 28% hadn't been persuaded...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    Indeed, difficult to disagree with. The problem is the failure of his Conservative party to follow that agenda, ot even intend to. It's that wilful dishonesty so many of us hate. .

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    I would never visit, I hate all these old buildings that despoil the countryside and the endless waste of money and resources maintaining them. I'd demolish over 95% of them, keeping only a few best examples for the historic record, also removing buildings from the brief of the National Trust. .

    Impulse Buy, was it a mistake?

    They work well and I like them. They've always seemed strong, but if there's a weak link, it will be the gear hub with both motor and rider power going through it. A tip, use the hub gears middle gear as much of the time that you can, since that's direct drive, the cassette just driving the...

    Cyclist hospitalised after riding across live rail

    Southern's third rail system is 500 volts DC, bike tyres don't seem to have had enough insulation resistance in this case. However he may have been riding at an angle across and had a wheel slip allowing a rim to contact. .

    Crank drive performance

    In this context it's Bosch who are the upstart, Suzhou Bafang are a long way into their second decade in this market, while Bosch joined much more recently. And I doubt Bosch matched Bafang's 1.2 million motors and systems in the last full year figures, larger than the entire European market. .

    David Couthard on an electric bike ........!

    Yes, when Yamaha packed in supplying F1 engines in 1999, the Toyota F1 team and engine quickly followed and were racing in 2002. I always suspected that wasn't a coincidence, suspecting Toyota picked up where Yamaha left off. .

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    The perfect moment to scrap article 50 and fully join the EU and the euro, without having to do any financial adjustment. That would boost business and tourism. .

    Denmark - where, like some other EU states, cyclists do nice things..

    There used to be a similar scheme in London Tom, volunteer cyclists in Lewisham provided trike transport for pensioners to go shopping and the like. I don't know if it's still going. .
