I'm not normally pedantic about such issues so don't usually correct. But on this occasion you were getting all mysterious and religious sounding about the end of earth and the solar system, so I thought bringing you back down to terra firma appropriate. :) .

But Article 50 did state the reversal procedure: 5. If a State which has withdrawn from the Union asks to rejoin, its request shall be subject to the procedure referred to in Article 49. .

No. It can get deeper, or it can get more deep. But it can't get more deeper, those two comparatives making nonsense. More than what and deeper than what, there has to be an anchor point? .

Here's 20 Agrees, a Like and a Well Said. .

With 12 mph assist limit, only raised to 15 mph to roughly meet EU transport law. .

Nonsense. From the Treaty of Rome and the founding of the Coal and Steel Community, there has been one organisation dedicated towards union and stated to be so. As the steps in that direction have been achieved by treaty and expansion, the organisation's name has evolved through to the present...

Which would never have happened without the existence of the Treaty of Rome and all that followed, through to the EU. .

Wrong direction, the blame for these is more likely to be westwards, our too close association with the USA and its grossly overweight population. .

They setup two courts which have done an enormous amount of good. As you requested, that 's just one of the vast number of good things that the EU has done. .

We already did in World War 2, declaring war on Germany in support of the countries of Europe. And if someone invades any part of Europe, we will again as a part of Nato. So if you were eligible for military service, you'd have to fight too, whether under the Union flag or the Flag of Europe. .

In what way is that different from the USA, also a large block of individual units giving up their international voice to a central government. .

Where is the benefit in that? I suppose the myth that the EU prevents us trading everywhere. But how is it that the products of wealthy EU members like Germany and Sweden are successfully sold in almost every country on earth? Could it be that they are just more competent than us, rather than...

I'm afraid not many repairs are possible with these units Nuno. No spares have ever been available since they were intended as sealed for life units with repair by replacement. Some things are possible though. The fact you can't wheel it backwards indicates the roller and ramp freewheel in...

I did have one suddenly swell up inside a camera and had to prise it out with a screwdriver. Fortunately it didn't get to a burning stage. .

I can't understand the comparison with air travel. My answer to Mountainsport was about e-bikes, advocating no extra warning labelling for them. This was on the basis that pavement electrical explosions were far more common than e-bike batteries going up, but we don't put warning labels on...

No, that would be hysteria. We are surrounded by such risks all the time, even a pavement can explode under us as we walk along it. See this link Just living is risky and we can't label everything. . .

Of course. The payback for them and all of us will be when all the problems of Brexit increasingly emerge. Then, even if not one Brexiter changes their mind, two thirds of the country will become very angry. .

I agree the basis of the referendum was wrong, but I don't like anyone thinking the majority were in favour of leaving. They weren't, as I've illustrated a clear and large majority expressed no such desire, while acting in one way or another for the status quo, remaining. .

The principle remains that the great majority either voted to remain or were not interested in change, expressing no interest in leaving. That is a clear majority to remain in the EU, the true referendum result. .

But I didn't say they were happy with the status quo, only that they had no interest in changing it. Rather like me receiving an offer to change my electricity supplier and not bothering to accept because I'm not interested in any possible gain. That is sufficient to indicate I'm content to...
