I can move freely between the UK and France, I have never given much thought to the question. There is something in the language that makes you think and react differently when you flip the language.

I reckon if there were a referendum to join in the US of E, the margin will be much greater than the 4%.

admit we don't fit in. we see the EU as the single market, they see it as the sum of all their good solutions accumulated over time. When there are enough collective solutions, then a single country will emerge, likely to comprise the benelux, France, Spain, Italy and Portugal. I think Germany...

just some temporary difficulty. we'll spread our wings and soar after brexit.

he started well but finished incoherently. The EU, as the US of E, will be successful, so will the UK and other EFTA countries.

that is not true. it is more likely that the EU will come in due course to accept our point of view regarding the divorce bill, that is we pay what is legally owed. The compromise will be EFTA style payment to the EU budget for years to come.

"David Davis: Norway model is one option for UK after Brexit" http://www.politico.eu/article/david-davis-norway-model-is-one-option-for-uk-after-brexit/ This piece from politico is the clearest indication that we are heading toward a compromise. All TM needs to do is to replace Mr Johnson by...

OG, I quoted Mr Barnier''s wrong choice of words, as they were directed at Geert Wilder, and namely, the Brits. I have no affinity for the man or his world view.

today's best read on brexit is this piece on the BBC website: "Brexit: A lakeside view of Barnier's tough talk" http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-41141650 ........................................................................................................ It was notable that he singled out one...

It is much less work installing a CD kit compared to a rear hub kit but more work compared to a front hub kit. Your case is exceptional because you have a carbon fork. If you swap it for a steel fork, installing a £499 front SWX or a BPM hub kit is very straightforward. This said, CD kits have...

I thought he did all right this morning on Marr's show. BTW, what Monsieur Barnier said, he said it off camera. I would have thought he was off guard.

what Barnier gets frustrated about is that the Brits are not exactly pressurized for time as he would have expected. The longer it takes to agree on the divorce bill, the more time the Brits have to agree between themselves where brexit will be heading and the more likely that the EU will...

the BBC has reported what Barnier said in Italy. It is going to be picked up by the right wing press pretty soon:

the speed is limited by what you set in the LCD. http://wooshbikes.co.uk/manuals/King-Meter-J-LCD.pdf I believe you are allowed up to 10% about 15mph.

a more useful test is power consumption when climbing long steady hills like rupert1 did with his woosh Bermuda http://pedelecs.co.uk/forum/threads/france-on-a-woosh.28220/#post-382588 More torque means you climb at higher speed, therefore improving your motor yield, lower heat waste and...

the difference can show up in the ratio torque/cost of the system and performance at low speed. I don't keep 12-FET 25A controllers because they are too big to fit inside the controller box.

we don't even have a border with the ROI. Following your reasoning, the ROI should have joined the UK.

on the contrary. Brexit is the UK coming to a sensible answer to its future. It has to find its way that fits its needs and aspirations. Ask yourself the question why is it so few Brits speak fluently another language? the answer is nothing to do with lack of ability or laziness, it has more to...

their situation is similar to other landlocked states, unified through geography and their lingua franca. The UK is not in the same situation.

that's a bit of tunnel vision. Our influence may or may not get smaller - there is no logic or proof to support your assertion unless you think we can steer EU's policy singlehandedly. As for joining the Euro, you are incorrect. We could not stay in the ERM, a pre-requisite for monetary union...
