I bet it has! Maybe A&E should take a leaf out of their book, £50 a visit would soon get rid of the cut finger and splinter brigade who overload them with trivial complaints. .

The regulations have always seemed odd in this respect. I moved into my flat when it was newly built and as with all the other flats, alongside the front door and high up there was a large airbrick into the common hallway. The fire brigade came round on an inspection a month or so later and...

It's not just the £10, they say a helmet is needed, cheeky gits. I'd boycott that dealer. .

It's RGB 216 - 52 - 139 Hex #D8348B Its colour name is Deep Pink, falling between Deep Pink 2 and Deep Pink 3 on the IBM scale. .

Only one council has acted in this hysterical way, others with the same cladding haven't and the media haven't attacked them. In fact it's that one council that has been widely criticised for their idiotic reaction and its thoughtless implementation. Ineffective anyway, since some 80...

Yes, but as said this isn't even remotely enough to gather reliable statistics on who's in. I think you'd be amazed at how infrequently one sees anyone else on a floor when going in or out. In my six flat section it's very rare that we coincide. The last time from memory was about three...

Agreed and understood, but two night fire wardens hired per block and equipped with mobiles and portable sirens would have been sufficient safeguard. Also the five blocks are in a group in sight of each other, so ten pairs of eyes on watch. Not only far cheaper than using hotels but also far...

I'm pleased to note that a number of residents have refused to move out. Some say they will not move until there is a proper plan for them, not the hasty chaotic evacuation the council rushed into at 5pm without any notice to residents. One of the blocks they evacuated turned out to be safe...

Oh and one more I forgot that is quite sizeable, though not cycling as we know it, BMX of course. .

It must be very small, mainly those who dip into trying a simple folder or e-bike like the casual Gtech buyers and the very small number of fixie riders. The only large single speed market is that of small childrens bikes, what used to be known as fairy cycles many decades ago. .

Jeremy Corbyn was on stage at Glastonbury, where it had probably the biggest audience ever, and he received a rapturous greeting. In addition his name has been sung there and elsewhere to the music of the old song "Oh Mr Porter". He spoke effectively to the Glastonbury crowds and will have...

That's Health and Safety for you, everything in duplicate! .

No, vellum or parchment is what they load into their computer printers! ;) In fact our MPs are not behind the times at all, lots of them are on tablets in the chamber tweeting during debates and smartphones proliferate. I've even seen tablets in use in the House of Lords during sessions. .

In the UK that's illegal only at nightime since the red and white parking lights would face the wrong way. However, that's universally ignored in London and many other places since all park without parking lights on, relying on the street lighting to show up their vehicles. Still potentially...

I did wonder about that, but as far as I could judge from the video it looked marginal. Even if possible, there might be problems with the automatic ramp hitting the kerb and street furniture could be a problem. We really need a video illustrating a number of ways to park and enter/exit to...

The concept is fine, but it seems very slow. Ordinary mobility vehicles are allowed a similar 8 mph on the road and are easily capable of that and often more. So it doesn't seen to gain a lot but will cost vastly more. And if someone parks around 4 foot or closer behind, as they often will...

The range for the majority will be 15 miles, hardly any of their buyers will get near to 30 miles. Over the last decade we have covered this subject many times, and the average e-bike consumption across the board that most use is 12 Watt/hours per mile. The Gtech battery is 180 W/h so 15...

Yes, even Peter Eland's two excellent publications never managed to be monthly. His Velovision which originally included e-bikes was two monthly and I seem to remember his later Electric Bike Magazine was four issues a year. .

Gross overreaction by a hysterical council. These people are not fit to be in charge of anything. The chance of a second one immediate following is vanishingly small. All that is needed while the cladding is being removed is a two person night firewatch at each block for the three weeks...

Yes. They tried a new design 9 speed which didn't get accepted in the market. Now that there's another maker of a dual drive and Sturmey have been revived by the Sunrace company, I think they've finally decided that their tiny share of the small IGH market isn't worth bothering with. .
