    no, I haven't. I voted remain halfheartedly. I prefer the EU if push comes to shove but I support soft brexit.

    I found the chart for you. http://whatukthinks.org/eu/questions/should-the-united-kingdom-remain-a-member-of-the-european-union-or-leave-the-european-union-asked-after-the-referendum/ The data was from a Survation poll 15-July-2017. Leave: 48% Remain: 47% don't know: 6% poll after poll...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    people don't change their mind unless some catastrophy happens. here is the dichotomy of British attitude: you are not going to convince 70% of the voters that free trade = free movement and that these two are not reconcilable. source...

    the exchange rate £/dollar has improved a bit recently, I think the new Santana CD would probably go for £1,079 with 15AH battery in October.

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    natcen is well respected in academic circles. Prof Curtice was pretty accurate in tracking support for brexit in the period leading to EURef. On the night, he warned us all that the result was extremely close and brexit may have a slight edge. It turned out that he was entirely right.

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    I think it was from natcen, Prof Curtice. I came across it last week. It's part of the study they do with 30,000 voters that they track for changes in British attitudes on brexit.

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    not this time. There is no reason for brexit tory MPs to change their mind, 'we won, you lost'. The tory's instinct is 'to take back control' - that has not changed much over the last 14 months. What is surprising is that the 4% margin has hardly moved in that time despite support for the...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    I think you will be surprised to know that tory grassroot wants TM to handover her PMship to David Davis or Michael Gove and that more than two third of tory MPs are now brexiters. There is no chance that brexit can be reversed under these conditions.

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    I support soft brexit as the only practical solution to bring two sides together. That is a fairly distant position from any stoicism.

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    find me one brexit voters who would be bothered with the chlorinated chicken story. It is one of many stories that both sides use to rubbish the other. The amount of chlorinated chicken that would be imported here is totally insignificant. It's not as if that's the only choice of chicken after...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    Steb, you know as well as I do, brexiters believe they have the moral high ground. Talking about x% of inflation or y% of loss of trade is a) to invite the other side to tell you 'prove it' or b) they tell you that they don't care. I have regularly to deal with disappointment, missing sales...

    the implication of whatever deal will come to parliament for approval in October 2018. If the deal is too bad then we'll have to either tell the EU we need more time or walk away with no deal, no doubt the government will fall if there is no deal, the problem will be solved by the next...

    if the pawls are chipped, they will slip when the motor kicks in, you will hear them. If the magnet ring goes, the pedal assist becomes very intermittent while the throttle works perfectly. They don't give any advanced warning before they go but the slippage of the pawls become quickly very...

    Review Woosh Rio MTB Review/Initial Impressions

    Overnight is OK, do switch off the charger in the morning. The battery is happier if it is neither totally full nor totally empty. No, but you do need to let the battery rebalance itself once every 15-20 charges. To do that, run the battery until it is fairly flat then leave it to charge until...

    1) controller 2) pawls for one way clutch 3) PAS sensor and/or magnet ring 4) LCD 5) speed sensor If you want reliability, go for low power geared hub motors. High speed kits have higher probability of snagging somewhere: more potholes, more vibrations, more miles.
